This is just an example, but there really needs to be a way to make sure they post a proper changelog... Like, is there a limitation on characters? Can't we set up a way to import the release notes from Github? Why is it this way?

My commits comments end up like this most of the time
Rentlar committed: Fixed a, b, c, changed file x, added y improvement, deleted unnecessary z
-- 15 minutes later -- Rentlar committed: Shit I broke something, fixed.
-- 10 minutes later -- Rentlar committed: fix the damn formatting complaints
And that's awesome. I'd much rather see this, than whatever fuckall "We squashed some bugs" message that is repeated every single time.
I understand that the average user isn't interested in that, but the average user isn't reading the changelog either!
