Not fit for the original purpose of change logs as far as developers
are concerned, but I for one don't use them at all nowadays to see
what changed when.  "git log" and "git blame" are far better.

Does this satisfy the FSF legal requirements?  "Who changed what"
won't be accurate unless committers remember to set the author
properly on commits made for other people.
