What are all those semi-colons in the logs, like in the messages
below?
There's nothing in CONTRIBUTE about that, and they get in the way when
reading the log. Why do some people use them, and then only sometimes?

Apparently it tells the ChangeLog auto-generator to ignore the commit.
Looking at some of the recent commits using this, I don't really
understand why they do so, except for the ones that indeed mess with the
ChangeLog itself.

It's mentioned there at the end of "Commit messages" section.

Thanks, I moved it into a more prominent place (and made other
rearrangements in that part of the file, as well as other minor
spelling and formatting issues).
