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 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.
