My personal bias is towards not having to write ChangeLog entries at all. We could make it happen by backporting the ChangeLog script to older stable branches and then drop the ChangeLog requirement altogether. As an aside, I'm thinking of separating out the stable branch (and all of the old addons, ports, etc.) related stuff out into a separate page so that this checklist remains short and simple. Stable branches have historically only been touched by distribution maintainers and I doubt if that will change in the near future given that we don't cut releases off stable branches. I'll do this too tonight if nobody objects. Siddhesh
