I'd argue "include ChangeLog entry in the commit when creating a Git
commit" has benefits for quick mergeability and clear visibility of
authorship.

And, because there seems to be a small preference for it (at least due to
possible conflicts), "don't include the ChangeLog in your patch when
sending the patch to a mailing list" seems to be a good second part of the
policy.

So, to expand on Matt's wording:

- When submitting via a mailing list include your ChangeLog entry in
the contents of your email rather than in the diff.
- When contributing in other ways (such as through a Git commit), include
the ChangeLog entry in the primary diff itself.

Can someone put something to that effect on the website?

It's unclear to me what do you mean, "generate this"?

The script would generate the changelog entry? The commit / email message?
