We should be looking at what the instructions should be once the
ChangeLog-generation script is ready for use and ChangeLog entries don't
need writing manually in any form (for which something that works with
"git am" seems a good idea). I don't think instructions for ChangeLog
entries are a particularly fruitful area in which to discuss changes other
than eliminating the manually-written ChangeLog entries.
