When the Jira issue is included in the changelog summary, it is included in the generated changelog as the initial text of the changelog entry. The same issue link is then included by the changelog generator at the end of the changelog description. Remove the example that places the issue at the start of the changelog text and explain that the issue link should be elsewhere in the pull request so that the changelog generator can use it. When the Jira issue is included in the changelog summary, the changelog maintainers must remove it before the changelog is published. It is better to not include the Jira issue in the changelog summary so that changelog maintainers do not need to remove it. Remind submitters that they should not delete the upgrade guidelines section because the presence of the upgrade guidelines section is used by the changelog generator as the terminator for the proposed changelog entries.
