This is explained the the CONTRIBUTE file in the Emacs sources:
If the summary line starts with a semicolon and a space "; ", the
commit message will be skipped and not added to the generated
ChangeLog file. Use this for minor commits that do not need to be
mentioned in the ChangeLog file, such as changes in etc/NEWS, typo
fixes, etc.
