I personally think: "stable on $arch, thanks to Jim and Jack (Bug
#$bug)" satisfies the desired property of terseness while still suitably
acknowledging those who have done the work.  Moreover, there's been an
informal policy of acknowledging helpful users in ChangeLogs for years
now.

I generally suggest that devs follow agriffis' lead and use a tool that
generates the CVS commit message from the ChangeLog message.
