And documentation changes should include proper "versionchanged" or
"versionadded" tags if it's not just a bug fix.

Four shall be the number of spaces thou shalt indent, and the number of thy
indenting shall be four. Eight shalt thou not indent, nor either indent thou
two, excepting that thou then proceed to four. Tabs are right out.
