it's not just me that has written lines slightly too long.
That's right, lots of people are doing it, and it makes more busywork when cleaning up ChangeLogs, which sucks. I don't have much faith in fixing this automagically, as a lot could go wrong.
There's a much simpler fix (see attached) but Stefan nixed it (see <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2014-12/msg01640.html>) for reasons that I don't follow. Perhaps we could take another run at him and he'll relent this time.
Another possibility is that we set the tab-width in ChangeLog files to 2, so that 78-character log lines fit in ChangeLog files when displayed via Emacs. (I'm *sure* nobody would complain about *that*. :-)
But really, it'd be simpler to shrink that "78" back to "72".
