Hey all,
Unfortunately the combination of using commit summaries in release notes and the mass-merger of Wikidata code means that we now about several hundred somewhat cryptic commit summaries in the release notes [1]. [1] https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki_1.21/wmf2
Hello,
That is unfortunate. We might want to rebuild the 1.21/wmf2 release note by excluding the Wikidata branch change and manually craft a section dedicated to that merge.
IMHO it might be a good idea for everyone to get into the habit of using clear commit summaries regardless of whether or not they're directly committing to core/master, if not overly time-consuming. This would make it a lot easier for people like me who wade through the automated release notes
During our first weeks using git, we have been asking people to write nice summary lines since they are used in Gerrit email notifications and in git log. I wrote a basic guideline (which has been improved since) that people can be pointed at:
