Good point. Shall we mandate that all bug closures be
adequately documented in the ChangeLog? I would be quite happy with
that.
Indeed, the rationale would be that closing bugs is an
important event for the Package, and needs be thus documented. I
thank you for pointing out this defect in our ChangeLog
standards.
