I would be surprised if the subject lines of these granular JIRAs made their way into the Release Notes. We subdivide tasks into bite-sized JIRAs to help developers and reviewers digest large features. I think we'll just confuse our customers if we expose this detail of our development process. For the sample JIRA below, I don't think the customer will appreciate either the existing subject line or the proposed replacement. Instead, I would recommend that the Release Notes provide some composite summary, describing which high level JDBC4 features we support and which we don't.

Take DERBY-953

Subject is "Add miscellaneous Statement methods introduced by JDBC 4",
that's the subject that jira uses for the e-mails for comments on this
bug. Not very descriptive of what the issue is addressing.

Something like would be more useful:

Implement JDBC4's Statement.isClosed() and
Statement.getResultSetHoldability().

Also the subject of a bug gets put into the release notes, it's helpful
if the subject provides a clear consise description issue or enhancement.
