I don't think this is necessary, and it's definitely not customary.
Here's two of the examples from the GNU Coding Standards.  Re "Likewise":

* register.el (insert-register): Return nil.
(jump-to-register): Likewise.


And for large mechanical changes:

When you change the calling sequence of a function in a simple fashion,
and you change all the callers of the function to use the new calling
sequence, there is no need to make individual entries for all the
callers that you changed.  Just write in the entry for the function
being called, ``All callers changed''---like this:

@example
* keyboard.c (Fcommand_execute): New arg SPECIAL.
All callers changed.
@end example
