Suggestion for logging changes on Bugzilla

I just did a search on "My bugs" and found that one of them, 22118,  
had a title that I didn't recognize.  I then remembered that the  
title had been changed from my original description; ordinarily there  
is not an entry in a bugzilla record noting that a title has in fact  
been changed.

I would like to suggest that all substantive changes to a bugzilla  
record (change of title, change of component, change of "Reported  
against", etc.) be automatically accompanied by a log entry in the PR  
that states the change and who made it.  Then we can at least have a  
record of who made changes and be able to ask them why there were  
made, etc..  I think e-mail is now sent to interested parties when  
such changes are made, but it would be good if a record is kept in  
the PR, too.

BTW, PR 22118 can probably be closed; for example, Geoff has committed
