I find them useful and "bzr log" doesn't always work as well as plain text comments. For instance it's much harder to go back and edit a published VCS log than a ChangeLog file. Perhaps the ELPA .el files should have a ChangeLog section in the usual format, which can then be collected into a compendium for the whole package by package.el. `C-x 4 a' would need a parallel command to edit the built-in ChangeLog.
