I recall Simon having a tool that would largely generate the changelog automatically, that worked pretty well last time I was release shepherd. Otherwise I'm also happy to discuss a process like in Kubernetes where the changelog item is written into the PR. On Thanos we have in the PR template that people have ensured that the changelog item was added respective to the change. Seems like there are options, I personally would favor something that would be done at contribution time, so not all the responsibility falls on the release shepherd as it does today, and more generally it seems like the person contributing the change probably is also a good candidate to describe it in the changelog.
