           Summary: check-webkit-style (and the style bot) should complain
                    about ChangeLogs without comments
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Unspecified
        OS/Version: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Tools / Tests
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org

The ChangeLog is designed to be a template for the developer to edit and add comments about what changed. I see many ChangeLogs that end up being just the bug title and url and the default output of changed files/functions. Anyone looking at these changes will have limited insight for why the change was made.

We should make check-webkit-style (and the style bot) complain about this to reinforce the practice of commenting what changed and why.
