I think part of our position is that it is far too easy to write
uninformative commit messages when one is not being forced to mentally
review the commit's contents. As with any other form of discipline,
maintaining ChangeLog discipline is an end in itself, not necessarily
something that might produce an immediate benefit. See FreeType's
experience:

A hook run before each commit is a good idea, and I plan to study how
they are written.
