??? Our historical and current practice is to fill ChangeLogs to 74
columns, which setting the fill-column in log messages to 64
accomplishes.  See CONTRIBUTE:

- Lines in ChangeLog entries should preferably be not longer than 63
  characters, and must not exceed 78 characters, unless they consist
  of a single word of at most 140 characters; this 78/140 limit is
  enforced by a commit hook.

or any of the old hand-written ChangeLog files.
