I have a script that does the opposite, which I've been using for years. I edit the ChangeLog files as before, and a Git prepare-commit-msg hook extracts the top changelog entry from each file in the commit and pre-populates my commit msg with those entries. To use it just put the two prepare-commit-msg* files from https://gitlab.com/miscripts/miscripts/-/tree/master/gcc into your $GCC_SRC/.git/hooks directory.
