It's actually fairly weird that one has to maintain dependencies by hand, I don't think I know any single project still alive that needs that. And duplicating that dependency information in ChangeLog entries will make a painful thing twice as painful. Not that the question "who added this dependency" seems like a common question to ask. - Volodya
