Please include the (LP: #nnnn) stanza in the changelog entry

[Morten Kjeldgaard]

When you grab a merge, merge-o-matic has already created a changelog entry for you, looking something like this:

matplotlib (0.91.2-2ubuntu1) intrepid; urgency=low

  * Merge from Debian unstable. Remaining Ubuntu changes:

 -- Ubuntu DaD <DaD@nowhere> Mon, 19 May 2008 02:14:18 +0200

Please include the LP stanza, so it will look something like this:

  * Merge from Debian unstable (LP: #nnnnnn). Remaining Ubuntu changes:

A lot of people seem to forget to close the merge bugs they've opened, and this would remind them. People who don't want/need to use LP for merge bugs can just delete it.

Simple patch. Not tested but this was the only function i could find writing a changelog.

[David Futcher (bobbo)]

Above patch was for MoM. Here is one for DaD.

[Scott Kitterman (kitterman)]

Just delete it and just add it. Who do we inconvenience. Missing closes should be caught/fixed in the sponsorship process.

[Adrien Cunin (adri2000)]

I agree with Scott. Not all merges have a bug associated (as far as I know, this is mainly used by non-MOTU to request sponsorship; so this is a sponsorship issue, not a merge one) and I think it will inconvenience more than help.
I'm anyway closing the DaD task (as DaD won't get any new feature now), and setting the MoM task as incomplete in case someone has anything to add before I close it.
