Yes, this should be considered, after a testing phase of - say - two weeks.

The git-merge-changelog module is not meant to be used by other projects;
rather, it's a program that targets developers as users. It would make sense
to distribute it as a package of its own on ftp.gnu.org, or as contrib of
the official git. I put it into gnulib only because gnulib already has some
git-related tools.
