Will do! I've attached a prospective patch file but I'm not sure I follow
what you mean by 'add all the necessary changelog entries to the final
commit
message'. Looking at this commit
<https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs/org-mode.git/commit/?id=294a4d2fe21ffcdc1acbbafed1bfc69a1ece7d13>
I'm guessing that I should have an `* …` entry for every file except
`etc/NEWS` that I changed so I've done that but please do let me know if
that was the wrong interpretation. :)

Subject: [PATCH] org-capture.el: Allow `(here)' as a template target

* lisp/org-capture.el (org-capture-set-target-location): Allow
`(here)' as a template target in addition to `here'.

Templates had no user accessible way to target the current location
directly from a capture template. Attempting to directly utilize the
behavior accessible through a 0 prefix arg exposed the inconsistent
treatment of the `:target` property in
`org-capture`. `org-capture-set-target-location` understood that it
could be both a symbol and a list, while `org-capture` itself required
it to be a list through its use of `car`.

This change opts to make `org-capture-set-target-location` more
liberal in what it accepts rather than making `org-capture` agree that
targets can be lists. This is because the manual implies, especially
in the `(clock)' entry, that targets are expected to be lists even if
they are meant as specific points.
* doc/org-manual.org (Template elements): Add `(here)' target
documentation
