I personally think: "stable on $arch, thanks to Jim and Jack (Bug |
| 8 |
#$bug)" satisfies the desired property of terseness while still suitably |
| 9 |
acknowledging those who have done the work. Moreover, there's been an |
| 10 |
informal policy of acknowledging helpful users in ChangeLogs for years |
| 11 |
now. |

I generally suggest that devs follow agriffis' lead and use a tool that |
| 19 |
generates the CVS commit message from the ChangeLog message. |
