I'd like to suggest again having patches include change logs. The basic
idea is for a patch to contain a file like patch.foo in the top-level that
includes the changelog entry and the maintainer runs a release script that
build a changelog by concatenating all the patch.* files and then
either appending them to an actual ChangeLog (preferred) or deleting
them. This would make it much easier for people to know the details of
what got fixed without further burdening The Maintainer.
One way to get this started would be to gather up all the existing
change logs, add them to a ChangeLog file, and add a note about the file
being auto-generated.

personally I think Marcelo is doing the right thing, which is actually
applying the needed patches rather than trying to do half of ISO9001
to keep a few people happy.

If you are qualified to hack on the affected code you are able
to understand the one liner change summary

Oliver,
I know this is a much better thing to do for the changelog... However I
really want to spend my available time now on letting 2.4 in a better
state.

Fair enough. Perhaps I'll send you a patch/script after a few dot releases
go by.
