If completely changing the CHANGELOG format is an option, what about
just using "git log" output as is?  That contains plenty of useful
information and gives anyone reading the ability to dig deeper since
it contains the commit sha1.

You'd want to add a space after the author name and some brackets
around the email address, to avoid output like:

Luke [EMAIL PROTECTED]

So, just tweaking your format options:

git log --pretty=format:'%n%aD%n%an <%ae>%n%s'

BTW, is it possible to run the tarball creation outside of
reductivelabs?  The DevelopmentLifecycle page on the wiki leads me to
believe the answer is no, but if I am mistaken, I'd be happy to help
test the Rakefile changes.
