This is redundant. bodhi has a field for bug numbers and it's pretty
self-explanatory.
* For security update, add CVE information, if one exists.
As above.
As evident in the number of package updates that don't provide any
information at all, I think it is helpful and complimentary to existing
bodhi descriptions. Also many maintainers are not aware that the update
descriptions are being used by PackageKit. Documenting it properly would
encourage them.
Nobody reads these anyway, so what's the point? Yum's changelog plugin is
much more useful than this proposal will ever be.
I am sure, quite a few people read them since I have answered questions
on earlier guidelines several times. Yum changelog plugin displays the
rpm changelog while PackageKit shows the update description in the
graphical interface. Both are useful.
