Thank you very much for developing this script.
But we can't presume it works entirely correctly yet.
Programs tend to have bugs, until we fix them.
So I ask people to test this script on a large number
of actual past commits, and compare the list of entities
reported by the script with what we have in the ChangeLog files
and with a hand analysis of the actual diff. We will most likely
find some problems.
With attention of this kind, we can have it working solidly
to carry out your plan.
