In my opinion we should do the simplest thing that works, because
bikeshedding on this is already taking too long.
There are many successful open source projects which do not have
explicit ChangeLog files and rely only on VCS logs. They're doing fine.
I agree that there may be benefits to handling the ChangeLogs in some
fancy way, but let's be practical and pragmatic. In my opinion it's a
minor issue, and benefits of git migration would be far greater.
