Yes, if there are errors, there should be a bug filed in the tracker
at pcb.sf.net.   That's what I did when I encountered footprint bugs,
and they were fixed quickly.  So maybe rather than a heroic effort to
proofread all the footprints, we should encourage users to file bugs
on them if they find a problem.  Then the offending footprints can be
fixed or removed.
