I formally object to this. Why should the short description
not be a full sentence? Why are we adding useless bloat to policy?
This does not seem appropriate for policy anyway (there is no
technical reason for not including a period, nor has there been any
justification for doing it this way). Even if it were justified (I
fail to see how), policy is not a best practices document.
Policy is also not a stick to shake at developers after they
close bugs that you reported on the issue.
It is equally likely that the better thing to do would be to
require all short descriptions to have a ending period (indeed, this
shall be my counter GR).
