I just want to avoid that it becomes legal to change any random ebuild
to someone's liking, and then commit it without ChangeLog (so it is less
visible?) with the commit message "qa".

Your committing this way actually supports the thought that you have
something to hide, because you don't document what you did, and you
didn't update the ChangeLog reducing overal visibility of your actions.
I don't want to actually get that suspicious feeling, that makes that I
actually start looking into what you committed.

You, as a QA member, should extra carefully stick to the standing rules
(even though you don't like them, or find them too slow/bothersome),
because you can't tell others they don't do things you don't bother to
do yourself either, do you?
