I don't recall that discussion; in case I haven't suggested it already,
I suggest using the same convention that other GNU projects use:
* If "Co-authored-by: Joe User <user@example.com>" appears at the start
of a log message line, that author is added to the ChangeLog entry.
* If "Signed-off-by: Joe User <user@example.com>" appears at the start
of a log message line, that line is simply elided.
* If "Copyright-paperwork-exempt: Yes" appears at the start of a log
message line, the "(tiny change)" notation is added.
