I guess it makes sense to wait until everything has settled from the Git
migration. Not introducing too many changes to the workflow at once.
So far it seems the major argument against generating ChangeLogs from commit
messages was, that the files can be easily edited and fixed. I'm not sure how
this can be addressed. Git's tools to edit commit messages (history) are
sadly destructive and not transparent. The support for git-notes(1) seems to
be rather poor. I guess we have to look at how other projects have solved
this.
Anyway, there is a gitlog-to-changelog script in Gnulib as well. We might be
able to use that.
