Yes, it may seem onerous at first, and certainly did to me, but
1. A lot of people use utilities that automatically extract changelog
entries (regression testers, etc), and thus, a consistent format is
pretty important
2. In a developer base as large as GCC, if we even allowed minor
differentiation in formatting styles, things would quickly go towards
chaos.

It would become very very hard for humans to quickly scan changelog entries.
