True. I have been waiting for the switch-to-git brouhaha to die down before installing further changes for automatic ChangeLog generation. Perhaps things are becoming calm enough now. This will entail changes to ChangeLog habits and so will start a new brouhaha (a smaller one I hope). The current draft for this is in Bug#19113, at: http://bugs.gnu.org/19113#23 Think of it as an echo to Eric Raymond's big bang.
