Since task #13779, we have dropped updating of the ChangeLog on each commit. The ChangeLog can be generated automatically from the commit history at any time (task #13779).

There are 0 votes so far. Votes easily highlight which items people would like to see resolved in priority, independently of the priority of the item set by tracker managers.
In addition to the strategy you described, it's worth noting that using a ChangeLog-like commit style is even easier when using Magit.
Anyway, doing this manually with any editor other than Emacs is a mess at best. While I'm a happy Emacs user, I'm contrary to force all contributors to use it.
My position is still the same I expressed here: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/gnuastro-devel/2016-05/msg00019.html Putting too many uncommon rules on contributors is likely to keep them away rather than attracting them.
