Not a good idea. Different people do this differently, and
since some of those people are doing bulk rebuilds, there's no
way to guarantee that exactly the same format will be followed
in all the historical entries in a changelog. Or do you envision
that people will actually retroactively change old log entries
to match their preferred format? Now *that* would be a bad idea.
I pretty much agree with Tom's arguments here. Jussi, if you want to put
this up for a vote you can but I don't think it would pass without showing:
1) what the benefits are
2) how to address Tom's concerns about old log entries, multiple
maintainers, etc.
