I have been thinking about this for a while, but was prompted by
Andrew's email [1] to send a message to the list.
Changelogs are pain to deal with, they don't automerge, and the
authorship information is redundant.
On the other hand I find them useful in two ways: they force me to go
over my patch one more time, and they provide a structure for creating a
good commit message (I copy and paste my Changelog entry in the commit
message).
So my suggestion is we get rid of Changelogs, follow the format outlined
on the wiki [2] and referenced by Andrew's message [1], and perhaps add
a requirement to have a bullet for each modified file.
WDYT ?
