Since we have ChangeLogs again (November) they've been in backwards
order. Which is not really good - it breaks tools (like emerge
--changelog) and makes it harder to read for humans.

As a bonus it's inconsistent because the old Changelog-2015 files are in
normal order, and the new ones are reversed. Which sense no makes.

The suggestions in the bug are of great entertainment value, but they
all avoid the simple idea of generating ChangeLogs in changelog (reverse
chronological) order. Which would fix all tools and make almost every
consumer of changelogs happy.

So, can we please, after over 4 months of stalling, just fix this
embarassment?
