Great! I wasn't aware of existence of this patch. I had a similar idea
some time ago, but no resources to go about implementing it. The isssue
is scheduled for 1.1, let's make sure it gets commited soon after 1.0!

I think the best apporoach would be enchancing statcvs with pluggable
log parsers, and implement a parser for maven-chngelog-plugin
changes.xml files. It shouldn't be very complicated. I don't know if
statcvs folks hang aroud here. If they don't respond soon maybe you,
(Luke) can write a message to them explaining the idea?
