So far my conclusion is to leave extensions as is
(although the only real argument was that these are
standard names) (even if they are colliding with other
standards), and rename ChangeLog to either UPDATES
or HISTORY.
[ My (light) preference is so far towards HISTORY,
because I've seen it more often in other projects
and maybe a tad "spicier". ]
Another option is to use .txt extension for all
text files in root, except COPYING.

Such renaming in Harbour would look like this:
ChangeLog -> CHANGES.txt
COPYING -> COPYING.txt
INSTALL -> INSTALL.txt
TODO -> TODO.txt
If there are no objections, I can do it.
I vote against. We are using standard names used in more then 90% OS
projects (I've just check /usr/share/doc/packages in my SUSE Linux)
which are automatically recognized by different tools, i.e. scripts
to merge documentation from different packages to avoid repeated
files like COPYING with GNU license inside or editors with syntax
highlighting.
