I thought Kristian's proposal was pretty solid.  Torrey had raised the 
objection that the requirement for a bug number for each change might be 
excessive.  Personally bugzilla is so integrated with my workflow that I 
don't see this as an issue.  I would at minimum like for each change to 
include _some_ external reference, be that a link to a message in the mail 
archives, or a distributor bug number, or whatever.  I can deal with that 
being a SHOULD rather than a MUST though.

Other than that I don't have any objections to the proposed policy.
