Comment 1 Pino Toscano 2021-04-16 11:10:41 UTC

Well, even worse in case of other bugs, like 1944093 (mentioned 26 times (!)). It seems to me that whatever is filling the RPM %changelog based on the git history (tito?) is trying to make sure every commit has an associated bug, which is not the case (translation updates are the most prominent example of this).
