I like that it lists all commit titles (which is usually helpful when
titles are unique, but not infallible), and find authorship nice but not
as essential; meanwhile, I feel that the shortlog output does a
disservice in that the results are not chronological. If we are going to
enforce anything, would the following output be any more useful, because
it lists things in chronological order, and replaces authorship with
commit ids for less ambiguity on reused subject lines?

$ git log --oneline edk2-stable201811..edk2-stable201903

or even some form of git log --pretty=format:XXXX that includes all your
goals of things to see in a list of commits?
