Considering that I have to regenerate the patch to apply it cleanly,
I'm not sure how this should be added to the ChangeLog.

We discussed in IRC a bit and Roland seems in favor of adding it with
the existing (old) date to the top of the ChangeLog.

Carlos O'Donell seems to favor updating the date to reflect the commit date.

Consensus would be nice on this one.
