Indeed it is not documented, but it is applied as a de-facto rule, since the short description of the changelog is not the same as the one-line-summary in git terminology.

I think the title in the changelog should give the context for the patch, which also includes the port and configuration affected, which is in most cases the same as bug title,  but this does not mean that the further description of the patch should be the same as the bug report.

Anyway, this is subjective and does not affect the relevance of the patch.
