Correction: This is not a proper description for any patch.

"some" is wrong to begin with.

Either we fix a particular issue or we address all of them, but "some"
means: We fixed a few, but we did not care about the rest.

Aside of that, I agree. The changelog is disjunct from the patch
itself.

Thanks,
