3. Update The ChangeLog File

You must have the ChangeLog merge driver installed. If you don't see
"Glibc Git - ChangeLogs"

If the merge driver fails you may need to merge the ChangeLog fragment by hand.

The date in the ChangeLog entry, once merged, should reflect today's
date, the day that you applied the fix.

https://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/standards.html#Style-of-Change-Logs

"As for the date, that should be the date you applied the change."

If the previous ChangeLog entry was from the same author then merge
the current entry into the last entry and avoid the additional header.

http://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2012-05/msg01141.html

"When you're adding a new log entry and the header line (the one with
the date and your name) would be identical to the existing top header
line in the file, then don't add a new header line."

Since ChangeLog is  auto-generated now, should this entry be removed?
