Probably can't assume we're only interested in commits starting with a
bugzilla number, lot of changelog worthy stuff goes in without a bug.

Overall I'm not real keen on having rules on commit messages to
accommodate the changelog population. IMO it needs to remain a manual
process anyhow, and killing lines you're not interested in can be done
so easily regardless what $EDITOR you're using. Seems like a bad thing
to bind together and something we'd likely struggle constantly with
enforcing, after which we'd *still* probably have to review the results
manually.

Content to just "dd" the uninteresting lines on my end.

Cheers,

Devan
