Thanks, Serhiy, for reminding! I said this about git commit messages,
not NEWS items. And even for commit messages I changed my style to be
imperative.
The widely known advice about git commit messages is: the subject
should be a continuation of "When applied this commit will..."
So I now use "Implement a feature", "Fix a bug", "Update docs".
Oleg.
