I do not know, in GDB I always follow past practices (which are not always
good):
2011-05-20  Pierre Muller  <muller@ics.u-strasbg.fr>
[...]
        * gdb.base/default.exp (show convenience): Use double
	                        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
        quote pattern for regular expressions.

        * gdb.threads/tls.exp ("info address me"): Fix expected output.
	                        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Somehow I think the intention of the ChangeLog entries is to identify where
the change happened, so both test case name or subroutine name is appropriate,
depending on what matches better.  At least I saw it so before.
