I'm fixing errors in ChangeLog entries one by one (there are more than 200), which is a bit tedious. This problem seems to reoccur for each first pretest of a major release. Many commit messages have wrong file paths, which is an easy mistake to make since there's no check being performed (Magit and VC can help with that though). There's already a pre-commit hook that does some checks on ChangeLog entries, and I was thinking that maybe we could extend it to check for the existence of file paths referenced in commit messages. Another problem I'm facing is author names. I get 30 ignored authors when updating etc/AUTHORS. Some of them are easy to fix given that they are known contributors. To my surprise however, some of these names refer to old commits (1998 being the oldest). I don't remember having this issue in the past, which is weird, and I'm wondering what to do with these ChangeLog entries.
