I think automated port lint is useful, if lint shows things that  
truly need fixing in a port. For example, we do want all ports to  
have certain required variables, and an $Id$ line, and we do want  
descriptions on variants, so it's good to be reminded when we've  
forgotten these things.

We currently send the port lint report in a separate email to the  
committer and maintainer (I think). Would it be better if the report  
were appended to the change email that gets sent to macports-changes?
