Please leave it as-is. Looking into groff's ChangeLog file, the
number of such commits is quite small. Additionally, even with my git
repositories that contain a manually maintained ChangeLog file, I got
into the habit of preserving the leading star in the (single-line)
commit message if it directly addresses a file.
For example, in the FreeType repository I've recently written
* src/sfnt/ttsbit.c (tt_sbit_decoder_load_bitmap): Typo.
while a more `global' commit summary looks like
Simplify header file hierarchy.
I can imagine that a new maintainer changes this (probably generating
the ChangeLog file from the git messages automatically), but for the
groff case I prefer consistency over convention.
