The thing to know is the CVS ChangeLog, what it makes you type in vi or
specify with -m, is completely different than the ChangeLog file. ChangeLog
the file should be edited however you like (I use the Emacs way) and committed

All the things that you listed are good. I just, however, learned of the full
power of that bug-tracker thingie we've got.... check out:

http://bugs.gnome.org/db/pa/lbalsa.html 
	The complete bug list
http://bugs.gnome.org/server-control.html
	For how to close bugs, etc.

It seems we have our work cut out for us.... :-)
