I think this is very important to have, but why put them at the
front? Changelogs are for consumption by humans and machines, and
humans have it easier if they can just start reading on the left
side and get the information they want. Machines don't really care
very much.

So, similar to how we close bugs, how about

  * fixed segfault during daemon startup (Closes: #7005180) [fed3f3d]

instead?
