-Emacs generally follows the GNU coding standards when it comes to ChangeLogs:
-http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/Change-Logs.html
-
-One exception is that we still sometimes quote `like-this' (as the
-standards used to recommend) rather than 'like-this' (as they do now),
-because `...' is so widely used elsewhere in Emacs.

-If installing changes written by someone else, make the ChangeLog
-entry in their name, not yours.

- There is no need to make change log entries for files such as NEWS,
- MAINTAINERS, and FOR-RELEASE.
-"There is no need" means you don't have to, but you can if you want to.

- There is no need to indicate regeneration of files such as configure
- in ChangeLog.

-Preferred form for several entries with the same content:
-
- * help.el (view-lossage):
- * kmacro.el (kmacro-edit-lossage):
- * edmacro.el (edit-kbd-macro): Fix docstring, lossage is now 300 keys.

-(Rather than anything involving "ditto" and suchlike.)
