All out PR merge commit messages have is the URL.  Nothing as informative
as what Andreas submits. :(

There should be two log messages for this kind of change - the merge
commit and the original commit message. Just looking at
openstack-manuals, I see:

commit 652e763c3c18bec8044d25a9e43cab22f766bfbe
Merge: d45147e d9417b2
Author: Jenkins <jenk...@review.openstack.org>
Date:   Sat Nov 16 05:42:12 2013 +0000

    Merge "Make the RabbitMQ settings more consistent"

And then further down:

commit d9417b25d97b5acf943575ac74487205ab2f08c1
Author: Gauvain Pocentek <gauvain.pocen...@objectif-libre.com>
Date:   Fri Nov 8 15:58:40 2013 +0800

    Make the RabbitMQ settings more consistent

    Modify the RabbitMQ password for all distributions using it, and provide
    configuration informations for all the OpenStack services connected to
    the message bus.

    Change-Id: I6309c9080ab34885c68c11b5d37783e07bdd98bd
    backport: havana
    Closes-Bug: #1249230


So, the information is really there - just not where you expected it,

Andreas
