It came to my attention recently because someone suggested that for
Fedora's RPM changelogs, I gave up after the "philosophy" paragraph in
the readme.

The changelogs I know which are built by semi-automated means are useless
commitlogs with the useful stuff omitted.

The value of a changelog is *precisely* the editorial work which condenses
the commitlog to a concise and useful document.
