I just committed the merge of git log information into ChangeLog
For anyone interested, the command I used to produce output, which I then 
edited by hand, was:

git log --since=2020-04-05 --no-merges --pretty=format:"%ad %an <%ae>%n%n       
 %s" --date=short --name-status | sed -e 's/^[A-Z]\t\(.*\)/\t* \1:/' 
>/ChangeLog.tmp

I arrived at that after a lot of time wasted trying out things on the web that 
claimed to produce beautiful output or to produce standard/gnu stype ChangeLogs 
none of them did).
Maybe, we could feed that output though further processing (to move the file 
names to correct position at the start of the ChangeLog entry rather than the 
end, and to split long commit comments up properly so that they are indented 8 
spaces but not longer than 80).  On the other hand, maybe going through and 
editing by hand is worthwhile (I did fix a number of typos).
