I'm not entirely sure, but I believe Greg may have a script for this,
given the amount of mail he receives and commits without a changelog
in general not being a good idea.

What I usually do with trivial patches like this, is simply take the
part after the last : in the subject, append a "." and voila you've
a changelog txt. So in this case that would simply be:

Fix trailing semicolon.
