You could fork, make the patch and create a pull request if one hasn't been made already. That would probably help get it done faster.

This is a mustbe functionality for me. Some other plugins depends on changelog for example 'Scan for compiler warnings' will not be launched because of empty changelog. Could you tell me if it is going to be delivered? Kindly waiting for response." Best Regards, Tom
