Because I have to keep track of so many topics, its maintenance is heavily helped by a script. I do not think it is sensible to expect me to (or it would be good use of my time) correctly update the list of commits manually every time a topic is replaced with its new version.

But I consider the use of the script just like my use of Emacs to edit the final end result. Yes, I use tools to prepare it, and the tools know certain rules that I prefer to apply to the document, such as "a topic that has not been touched since the previous issue by default does not need its description updated."

Does that answer your question?
