Feel free to join the discussion on bug-standards (which has been going 
for several months) of eliminating the GNU Coding Standards requirement 
for the ChangeLog *format*.  (It's already been allowed by the GCS for 
over 20 years to generate the ChangeLog *file* at release time for the 
release tarball from version control history rather than having it checked 
in, but then of course you need to make sure that commit messages are 
appropriately formatted to derive ChangeLog entries - so I consider that 
the format, not the file, is the main issue.)
