This is great news! Thank you so much for working on this!

It must be hard to figure out how to generate summaries for a wide range
of edit shapes, but it is definitely useful.

I cannot tell from the Phab ticket whether you considered to reuse
existing summaries from atomic actions (such as addition of a single
description) when the edit was made through wbeditentity?

For instance, as an API user it would be great if I could always use
wbeditentity regardless of the change I am making, and Wikibase would
automatically use a more granular edit summary if possible.

Best,
Antonin
