-1000 to manual changelog updates
+1 to a changelog populated by a commit trigger. Having a
local/offline copy of the change history can be useful, in the absence
of git.
-100 to reverts deleting stuff from changelogs. changelogs should be
(except in exceptional circumstances) append only, just like version
control.
Seems to me that any substantive change or feature addition should be
tracked by a bug, and that bug should have a 'feature' or
'release_note' flag associated with it. Then writing a script to pull
all the relevant notes would be pretty easy.
