CONTRIBUTE contains outdated information re ChangeLogs.
Someone should review it and update it.
Random hits (almost every instance related to "ChangeLog" seems wrong to me):
If committing changes written by someone else, make the ChangeLog
entry in their name, not yours.
[...]
It is tempting to relax this rule for commit messages, since they
are somewhat transient.
[...]
In ChangeLog entries, there is no standard or recommended way to
identify revisions.
[...]
There is no need to make separate ChangeLog entries for files such
as NEWS, MAINTAINERS...
etc, etc, etc
