            Bug ID: 239328
           Summary: Do not require writing commit message
           Product: WebKit
           Version: WebKit Nightly Build
          Hardware: Unspecified
                OS: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Tools / Tests
          Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
          Reporter: ysuzuki at apple.com

Commit message should be generated from ChangeLog automatically.
Currently, we need to write ChangeLog and commit messages. So, it requires writing it twice.
And commit message is fragile: if we are working on local branch with multiple small changes, canonical commit message requires us to squash local commits for PR, which destroys the existing workflow (like https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=239327), which was working with webkit-patch.

So, I think, at least, we should avoid writing the same things twice (ChangeLogs and commit message).
