Yes please.

And forget about the difference between "user-oriented" and "dev-oriented". 
That's only an issue for people with too much time (also for debating).

Regarding migration to git, I think some people where working on it, but
there were some pending problems preventing the migration:
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=333531

there, you can see the blockers, the problem is that most of them are
stalled :|, if you (or anybody) could take care of them...

ISTM things like bug 333697 (partial checkout support) and 333699
(git-cvsserver, so that holdouts can still commit through CVS?)
shouldn't block the migration... they're just nice-to-haves.

Well, for now the solution is to enforce following policy.

For the future, perhaps the policy's time has ended.  Sure, Changelogs
can be handy, but they are increasingly redundant and scm comments
have the potential to be far more useful.  By all means require
meaningful scm commit comments, but if Changelog files are holding us
back either auto-generate them or ditch them.

And, to add my own to cents to this chain about the only thing worse
than failing to directly inherit an eclass dependency is to break the
tree fixing the problem on personal initiative.  When a dev messes up
the solution is to talk to them or if necessary talk to devrel/QA -
not to break end-user systems.

ChangeLogs could be fine for ebuilds. But for more broad cases like
eclasses, one can usually have a set of changes prepared for commit.
With CVS, it's PITA but with git it's already much better. Of course,
it all fails if every commit has to update a randomly changed, shared
file called ChangeLog...

So we did we introduce changelogs for eclass/ in the first place if
everyone is happy with getting rid of them?

+1

I think it is nice to be able to use a different changelog entry than
commit message, but autogenerated entries would be more consistent.

Having ChangeLog files at all is just a convenience, but an important
one imo. It's the quickest way to track down sudden breakage.

scm comments are _not_ the same as a single file holding information
on all changes to an entire directory.


As for the given case I demand that the missing ChangeLog entries will
be added now by vapier, cause it seems they have already caused
breakage: #417265
