The convention is that the commit message should describe the changes to
individual functions, variables etc. Also "Copyright-paperwork-exempt: yes"
is missing in this case. Also I believe that real names are preferred
unless the author actively wants to use a pseudonym.

(Normally you run 'make change-history' and fix these things in the
generated ChangeLog, but that remains inoperable for non-master branches.)

Finally maybe it merits a NEWS entry, I dunno (did not look at the
actual substance of the patch).
