He always writes really detailed reviews, which I highly appreciate. :-)

On which note, I have an additional nitpick:

In the GNU ChangeLog format, when you have a list of functions that
exceed one line, you should close parens at the end of each line and
reopen on the next. Thus:

* libguile/hahstab.c (scm_alist_to_hash_table, scm_alist_to_hashq_table)
  (scm_alist_to_hashv_table, scm_alist_to_hashx_table): New procedures.

If you're talking about the commit message format, we largely follow the
GNU ChangeLog format, which is described here:
