I though it's a problem of present vs. past tense, not actove/passive voice.

The changelog informs about what _was done_ so there is no reason to use
present tense or imperative.

I think I remember being corrected that something like

        * dir/kill.c (killer): Add line to kill `foo.'

should rather be

        * dir/kill.c (killer): Added line to kill `foo.'

but I presumed that

        * dir/kill.c (killer): Kill also `foo.'

would be a correct description of the same change.
