I'm surprised, but maybe authors-canonical-file-name means it works
itself out? If a test with a dummy tree with only two separate
ChangeLogs, one in lisp/ containing an entry for "files.el", and
one in top-level with an entry for "lisp/files.el", results in an
AUTHORS file with just a single changed file, then maybe it all Just
Works...
