In Bug#19113 I just now proposed patches to generate the ChangeLogs combined. This was easier, as it's what other GNU projects do and I borrowed their code. If someone would like to change the generation procedure to tease out various subdirectories' changes, please feel free. (There's no rush to do this, as the procedure matters only when making a new release.) Other comments are welcome too.
