I don’t think it’s a good idea to add yet another thing to every change log entry.
I wouldn't consider this something being added. Most ChangeLog entries (the good ones, anyway) already contain a description of the fix in addition to the bug title, URL and reviewer.
While I sympathize with the idea of the one line explanations, I think this adds unneeded complexity to our workflow and the added value you mentioned does not seem to overcome it (namely making a couple of tools work better). Also you are implicitly constraining people to explain their change with one-liners which IMHO is not a good constraint. I would rather see good explanations than explanations that need to match a format. Thanks, Julien
