Right.  In cairo and pango we do the same, with a slightly different syntax. 
For example:

    [win32] Fix horizontal glyph positioning bug
    [test] Memfault checks
    [surface] Propagate region allocation failure
    [traps] Propagate allocation failure
    [region] Use const cairo_rectangle_int_t consistently
    [scaled-font] Global glyph cache

I find that quite useful.
