I don't see why not. I suppose someone could modify the build-aux/gitlog-to-changelog script to do both things. That script is copied from Gnulib -- I didn't change it. I'll CC: this to Jim Meyering (who wrote that script) to see what he thinks about the suggestion. Jim, the context is that we're converting Emacs to generate ChangeLog files automatically, like coreutils etc. do.
