I've noticed last few security releases the ChangeLog entries have 
changed from:

* Asterisk 1.8.2.4 Released.

* AST-2011-002: Multiple array overflow and crash vulnerabilities in
   UDPTL code

to

* Asterisk 10.5.2 Released.

* AST-2012-010

* AST-2012-011

Can we go back to adding the summary?  Makes the ChangeLog not useful if 
we don't say what has changed.  Bonus points if we also include the JIRA 
issue number too, like the other commits.
