PS, this (omitting parts of a patch) used to happen to me, too, but then I wrote vc-dwim (https://gnu.org/software/vc-dwim/). If you use it to prepare/view/commit changes for which you have already written a ChangeLog entry, then it will automatically ensure that you do not omit changes to any file whose name appears in the corresponding ChangeLog entry.
