To me the simpler the better. If there's a patch then it's the
reviewer's task to point out what's missing - and that's
context-dependent: some fixes don't need a doc change or a test case
(or, at least, they can do without).

The rationale is that the more complex a system is, the less likely we
are to use it. Our current "keywords" are severely under-used.

Antoine.
