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.
