I was mainly referring to cases where either an initial commit (with a complete NEWS entry) requires follow-up fixes (no NEWS edit necessary).

However, another case did occur to me, which is fixing bugs reported against never-released features (which is what I'm currently working on for PEP 538). https://github.com/python/bedevere/pull/22 is the current implementation of the check. All it does is see if the PR has a path that contains a news file. It can also easily be changed to also support some "no news" label if people want it to.

Yeah, I think I'd prefer to see the current "trivial" label split into the more explicit "no issue needed" and "no NEWS needed". It isn't necessarily the case that the changes in such PRs are trivial, it's that the usual checks don't apply for some reason (and the change being genuinely trivial is only one possibility)

Cheers, Nick.
