Well fair enough. I'll modify the patch to link to the issue instead.

A news entry does not at all have to deal with the commit summary or
whatever you wrote. The NEWS entry should describe the issue.

The commit message may make sense in technical terms but it doesn't
really suit the news entry in this case. It doesn't mention that it's a
crash. Users see a crash and that should be mentioned here.
