[libvirt] Improving our ChangeLog format?

Hi all,

Noticed an entry in a recent LWN.net article about PostgreSQL's
conversion to git.

One of the things mentioned sounds relevant to us :

   Robert Haas has documented how to get commit summaries and sizes from
   Git. He wrote a perl script (which Tom Lane improved) that allows you
   to produce a changelog suitable for release notes from Git.

 
http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git;a=blob_plain;f=src/tools/git_changelog;hb=HEAD


The changelog mention might be useful for us, as the PostgreSQL
changelog looks a bunch more useful than ours.

   The PostgreSQL ChangeLog:
   http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.0/static/release-9-0.html

   Our ChangeLog:
   http://libvirt.org/news.html


Mentioning this in case anyone has the time/inclination to look into
it.  Any takers? :)

Regards and best wishes,

Justin Clift
