I had intended to summarize this long thread which I started. But I've since realized that we're mostly bikeshedding here, so there isn't much actionable takeaway. :( Thank you to all of you for your thoughtful responses!
I'm not at all attached to the current YELLING CHANGELOG TEMPLATE. :) But I don't feel like I can draw action from this thread. I'm happy to review further changes to prepare-ChangeLog (as I'm sure others are). So if anyone feels strongly that it's currently broken, please feel free to post a patch. :) -eric On Fri, Jul 3, 2009 at 4:51 PM, David Kilzer<ddkil...@webkit.org> wrote: > > On Friday, July 3, 2009 2:19:51 PM, Maciej Stachowiak wrote: > >> What I do (and I think many of us do) is use a script that >> automatically fills in the commit message from the ChangeLog. > > The script is WebKitTools/Scripts/commit-log-editor.
