Yes, as you know, the reasoning behind the FONTLOG is to provide a descriptive template which merges the essential items from the usual README/CHANGELOG/NEWS file, taking into account GNU/Free Software conventions in software tarballs, but adding the specific structure necessary for collaborative font design. The majority of open fonts using a FONTLOG are released with a FONTLOG.txt file in their tarball: with both caps and a .txt extension to make it easier cross-OS and filesystems. I suggest we continue recommending the capitalized + txt. extension form. Especially with the FONTLOG integration in FontForge.
