About this slightly hybrid approach:

- the ChangeLog file is retained, some script just appends from VCS log
  to it
  * where is the ChangeLog file stored?
  * is the VCS log appended to the ChangeLog every time it is generated,
    or is it "committed" to the file?
- in case of a committed update to the ChangeLog file (commit hook?
  repoman?), people would have the ability to edit the ChangeLog
