This kind of terse changelog is really not cutting it.

There is zero explanation why this requires to change the type of
timekeeper::last_warning.

I also fixed up the subject line for you when I applied the previous
patch and you got an email when I applied it which made you aware of
that change.

Please pay attention to such details and stop copy and pasting a boiler
plate text into the change log. I fixed it up for you only once.

Thanks,
