I still don't know if this is a good idea or not.  

Since last time:
We can handle huge revision lists (the 5000+ of mtn mainline is okay)
We handle arbitrary existing version numbers, add or truncate to maj.min.sub
 and increment sub if you don't provide a revision
We can cope with producing a changelog for branches with no x-revision certs.
We can cope with producing a changelog without a changelog_exclude file.

We have learned that lua patterns are not regexs.  More like, they're the crippled cousin of regexs, whose foster parents keep it in a shed and don't talk to it so that the state will send the support checks.  I mean, really: no repeats of groups?  Really?

Also, anyone interested in fooling around with mtn_automate might do well to check out this lua code.  I've encapsulated a lot of handy little functions that are otherwise a real headache.
