It's going to need to be run on the emacs-25 branch, isn't it? And the resulting ChangeLog.2 entries (and more importantly, any corrections) will have to be merged to master, just like in the old days? (I presume gitmerge.el should handle it though.) (It seems to me that it would be simpler if the corrections to commit logs were versioned, not the whole generated ChangeLog; but I've said that before.)
