You can keep using C-x 4 a, and if you commit using vc-next-action,
the ChangeLog entry will be copied over to the commit message. (I
think this is recent behavior; you might need a reasonably recent
Emacs. 24.5.1 WFM.)

Alternatively, if you use Magit, when commiting, you can use
magit-commit-add-log (bound to C) to add ChangeLog-style entries
directly into the commit message from the diff buffer that Magit
displays next to the commit message buffer.

Cheers,
