Basically if the patch pops up an editor with the automatic changelog,
I'd be happy with editing it before proceeding. I currently do that today.
I do a git log --pretty=oneline then remove trivial ones like 'fixed unit tests'
but I leave things like 'refactored Action blah blah blah'

In theory bz would be required. I guess that would keep the changelogs
to the most important messages.
