This can be automated using a simple Emacs macro.  François Pinard
also has a Perl script which changes entire ChangeLog in one run (I
should have to lying around).

I don't think we have it written down all the way.  The major result
of all this was the automake tool which generates Makefiles as they
should be.  Some of us tried to start writing all this down but didn't
finished it due to lack of time.  But since we review each others
packages there is a coding standard which is followed.
