Why do we still use the ChangeLogs? git log is much more pleasant to use. The only situation where it might be useful to have the ChangeLog is when we only have the tarball. So we could generate ChangeLog from the git log at "make dist" time. We would just write git logs like we used to write ChangeLogs.
ChangeLogs were great because they are local and don't need to reach the repository. Using git this is no longer a problem.
