Any thoughts on keeping the ChangeLog formatting, but just putting it
in the commit message and generating the ChangeLog from commit
messages?

No thoughts at all. I see no reason why we couldn't do it.


Are you volunteering?
No way. As always, I'm buried. If I ever get my head out, I'll be hacking GCC bits or at least trying to convince GCC to switch to GIT and use autogenerated ChangeLogs.

git log + ChangeLog = Commit log + structured change log.

vs.

git log = Commit log + structured change log.

There just doesn't seem to be enough difference to pay the cost
of changing.
By autogenerating, you simply don't have to mess with the ChangeLog anymore. Dates & authors come directly from git, no more ChangeLog merging, etc.
