I guess the original reason was to know when a particular change was actually pushed to master and thus made official. It's not much helpful to know when a patch was authored which may actually be the date when the original author had started working on this (rather than finished). I think somebody told this on libc-alpha but indeed, it was in the context of the master branch. > [...] > At commit/push time (not at contribution time), the copyright > assignment may no longer be in effect for new contributions from the > same person, after all. I am not a lawyer so I should not speak about it... But should the commit/push ever happen if the copyright assignment is no longer in effect? Just to summarize, I am not asking for any specific rule for dates in ChangeLog in stable branches because I can see now that nobody needs such a rule. Regarding the master branch, I'm not sure about the rules but I can see that everybody (or almost everybody) update the dates to the current date when pushing which is OK. Regards, Rafal
