In theory the way ChangeLogs are now generated itʼs possible to amend
them after the fact, but nobody every implemented support for
that. Attached a patch to allow specifying specific amendments to the
ChangeLog entries for specific commits, plus a totally randomly chosen
example.

Regards

Robert

Subject: [PATCH] Allow amendments when generating ChangeLog
To: emacs-devel@gnu.org

* Makefile.in (AMEND_FILE): New variable to specify file used
for ChangeLog amendments.
(ChangeLog): Pass AMEND_FILE to ChangeLog generation script.

* build-aux/amend-emacs-26.txt: New file.  Contains commands to
perform ChangeLog amendments.
