Hmm, that's what I use. If you go to the diff buffer that (by default)
is popped up while committing [*], hitting C (magit-commit-add-log) on a
hunk should add an entry to the commit message buffer.
What happens on your end? (And what version of Magit are you using?)
[*] I haven't followed it closely, but Noam Postavsky has worked on
improving changelog generation in Emacs (shipped with Emacs 27, I
believe) and then using that in Magit (in-flight PR). IIUC the
end result is that the full changelog skeleton could be inserted
by calling a single command from the commit message buffer. (And
calling the command manually could be avoided by adding it to
git-commit-setup-hook.)
