I think it would be better if line 3+ would be exact ChangeLog entries
format-wise, so that you can still use emacs' ChangeLog facilities
(`add-change-log-entry').  I don't really want to write the changed file
and function names on my own, and adding them correctly is exactly what
that function does very well.

Bye,
