I think it is nice to have the names. A new kernel might break something, It is then nice to know where to send the bug report. (It is usually, but not necessarily the maintainer that did it.)
That's why I like a long format, merely with the _duplicated_ names removed. I guess people like to see their name in the changelog too. :-)
