Don’t let your friends dump git logs into changelogs.

This is just a devil's advocate note. Personally I'd be pretty inclined to use programmatic means to handle what I would consider to be a chore of handling changelog maintenance.
With that said... Do we really need changelogs as a standard-across-the-board artifact? For me, to answer questions around what has been happening on the development of projects I typically use a combination of git logs, release notes, the github issue tracker, and, if necessary, an internet search engine. I don't know if a changelog has ever held my attention for more than 4 seconds.
