I'd just like to echo Mark's sentiments here -- it is hard to play the
"pedantic maintainer" role, and I thought he could use some
encouragement.  I use the ChangeLog entries to figure things out from
time to time; good entries are really quite useful and not that much
harder to write.  FWIW I always make my cvs commit message the same as
the ChangeLog entry; this makes it a bit easier to go from the
ChangeLog to the actual change.
