The gnulib script is:
${gnulib_dir}/build-aux/vcs_to_changelog.py
There's a note about changelog generation in the glibc wiki, hopefully
that'll help in your work:
https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/Release#First_Tag_.5BREQUIRED.5D_.28At_release.29
gcc has taken a different path; it incorporates ChangeLog entries into
the git commit message and the script then parses the commit message to
generate ChangeLog entries. It is a different project here:
https://github.com/marxin/gcc-changelog
