I don't see how tricky it can be - all it takes is a single run of
rcs2log to create the initial version, and then some minor initial
editing to clean it up. Once it's there, requiring people who commit
changes to also include an addition to the ChangeLog would keep it
up-to-date (and if necessary, rcs2log could be run again to create
a fresh one based on the CVS logs (which would probably be identical
if the developers use emacs)). It would also provide a convenient
reference point for when CVS access is unavailable.
I'm quite willing to create that initial ChangeLog and post it, if
anyone is interested.
