When I make rclone releases I usually spend an hour or two taking the git log, removing irrelevant stuff and rewriting messages to make them make sense from a users point of view.
I then take that and try to pick the top 3 or so items for use in the summary.
I then rewrite the summary condensing into a tweet.
It's a lot of work!

It was only through a recent changelog entry in Emscripten that i was able to locate a truly obscure bug in the sqlite3 wasm builds (triggered by a default-value change in Emscripten's stack size). Without that hint i'd _still_ be searching for the cause of that bug (more than a month later).
