I personally prefer to follow the GNU coding standards here [1] for
patch descriptions.

I think a patch is not really a changelog and the RFC 822 format has the
big advantage that there are parsing tools that might make using the information
for online documentation (I used these for parsing the tasks files recently
and this was not much of a deal).
Kind regards
Andreas.
