I was. All 5000-lines of them. Sorry: I should have mentioned
that that was a mutt listing and the numbers were the number of
lines in each mail.

The ChangeLog entry for the commit in question is one thing. And
I do this too, sometimes, yes. The entire ChangeLog is quite another.

I am relieved to find it is the script which prepares the cvs-commits
mails: I thought I had inadvertently done something dreadful. (Thanks
for the confirmation, Kris.)
