Thank you for these links.  From the IRC log cited above, it now appears
that Léo Le Bouter <lle-b...@zaclys.net> bears primary responsibility
for these mistakes.  In particular, according to the IRC
logs, Léo wrote:

Yes, I would very much like to hear an explanation from Léo about how
this happened.

Nonetheless, you (Raghav) also bear some responsibility for digitally
signing and pushing these misleading commits to the 'wip-gnome' branch.
At least one of the problems (the misleading summary line) should have
been obvious from a cursory glance at the commit log.
