RMS was asking Emacs maintainers for years to use this format.  I
asked him to write this up in standards.texi when it was last updated,
since many people are unaware of this.

The rationale for this format is mostly that it makes ChangeLog
fontification in Emacs much more consistent.  The font-lock definitios
in add-log mode rely on the correct format.
