Yes, git tracks 'Author' and 'Committer', each with their own date. So
the ChangeLog generator script would need to use the name from 'Author'
with the date from 'Committer'. But does it actually do that? And
wouldn't it be pretty confusing to have dates in the ChangeLog that are
years apart from those in the git log?
