The old logs are routinely useful for identifying the logical changesets 
for changes before the move to git.

The newer logs are a matter of the GNU Coding Standards.  That is, if you 
don't want to maintain information about "what" changed in that particular 
form, you should be persuading the GCS maintainers to allow just logging 
descriptions of what and why changed at the logical level rather than the 
level of individual files and functions (in the case where a version 
control system provides tracking of the "what" ... not all GNU packages 
have public version control).  Absent such a GCS change, we can still move 
to automatic generation but that requires various infrastructure work such 
as I outlined.
