AFAIK, that's because this is the default in Emacs's commands that
manipulate ChangeLog entries. Here:
(define-derived-mode change-log-mode text-mode "Change Log"
"Major mode for editing change logs; like Indented Text mode.
Prevents numeric backups and sets `left-margin' to 8 and `fill-column' to 74.
New log entries are usually made with \\[add-change-log-entry] or \\[add-change-log-entry-other-window].
Each entry behaves as a paragraph, and the entries for one day as a page.
Runs `change-log-mode-hook'.
\n\\{change-log-mode-map}"
(setq left-margin 8
fill-column 74 <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
indent-tabs-mode t
tab-width 8
show-trailing-whitespace t)
