I don't think these changes can be automated.  Entries of the form

   * somefile.el (somefunc): Word
   and more words.

look better as

   * somefile.el (somefunc):
   Word and more words.

but there are cases where that's not so. It's a subjective call, so
that's why only some of us take the effort to do it (I seem to
remember Stefan said that he even has a font-locking regexp to
highlight such cases in ChangeLogs ;-).
