You took the words out of my mouth. :) I'm not sure about all the 
details here, but some way of "embedding" change-log-mode into other 
major modes would be really helpful. Maybe there are other ways to do 
this instead, like multi-major-mode support (e.g. in html-mode and the 
like), but I think it makes sense not to *require* change-log-mode if it 
could get in the way for users who don't write commits like that.
