You shouldn't.  The format is this:

  * file (func1, func2, func3): Change description.

If you type "C-x 4 a" inside every function, Emacs will format the
list for you, even if it's longer than a single line.  Then write the
description at the end.

I don't know.  What did you do to produce the patch?
