A lot of ways that display git commits put the changelog and the summary
far apart.  The changelog is pretty useless by itself in this case.

https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/1/11/308

See how it puts the date in between?  marc.info is even worse but google
hasn't indexed it yet and I'm too lazy to look it up.  So people read
the summary or the changelog but not necessarily both.
