Cool. Look at that file and, without resorting to git blame, tell me 
why each of those entries is there. If your answer is "Just use git 
blame", then that's fine up until the point where someone reformats the 
list or decides to change the order and now it's still *possible* it's 
just really annoying, so why not just add the comments? They're cheap 
and you could have done it trivially in the time it's taken you to reply 
to this thread.
