    For binutils we maintain the ChangeLog.  I suggest keeping it until there is a
    consensus on all GNU projects.  It does help with grepping things
    sometimes.

    Note, a tool I use to maintain the ChangeLog is:
    
     - https://github.com/simark/gnu-changelog-tools
    
    The idea with this tool is that you maintain your changelog entry in your git
    commit messages until you are about to commit.  When you want to push your
    changes up to git just run a rebase...:
    
      $ EDITOR=/bin/true git rebase master -i --exec changelog-git-amend.py
    
    And it will put the right date and copy the changelog from the git commit
    message to the ChangeLog file at needed.
    
Uoh, that does _exactly_ what I do manually all the times :D
Thanks for the link!
