Heh. Your backlog must have grown to a redwoody backtrunk by now. :)

Yes. Maybe developers reading through the commits often see where
something is going and remember to nominate something when the
"finishing touches" commits come in.

Past experience suggests, that the massive number of commits (which has
increased even more over the years) is a major hurdle for these
summaries. Once a backlog builds up you're doomed.
Having a preselection by the devs will limit the number of commits to
be reviewed, giving us the chance to keep up.
