Also put a blank line here between the title and the changelog.  If
there is no blank line, then it breaks a bunch of git scripts such as

Sorry it seems like a lot of criticism of the miscellaneous process

thousand people start working on the same project.  Each kernel
release has over a thousand contributors these days.

$ git log v2.6.39..v3.0 | grep ^Author | sort | uniq | wc -l
1259
