We have a hard time understanding what agent is being referenced when
we use "we" in a patch changelog. We would prefer that we consider not
using "we" in favor of explicitly named agents, or otherwise review
the changelog to make sure that "we" is clearly discernable. We will
fix it up this time when applying, but we hope we have made it clear
how confusing liberal use of "we" can be.
