I mean, whenever distinfo is updated due to distfile reroll, it should be
reflected in the commit log that contents of the old and new tarballs were
compared and no malicious changes found.  This was done by the submitter
and mentioned in the PR, but did not make in the commit log.

Section 12.17 of PHB talks about it, but surprisingly it says "in the PR or
commit log" while verificaion should always be reflected in the log (it was
always this way AFAIR).

If you're in contact with submitter via email you can give his this idea. :)
Otherwise, leaving a comment in bugzilla with this suggestion is probably
enough.
