What are you referring to?

Are you talking about creating ChangeLog entries out of the CVS log messages?
If so, I recommend that you do it the other way around: write the ChangeLog
entries first and then use C-c C-a in the *VC-log* (or *cvs-commit*) buffer
to fetch them and format them for CVS.

The ChangeLog format is more powerful/flexible so it's the better place to
"do it by hand".  Also Emacs provides facilities to help you write
ChangeLog entries (things like C-x 4 a which also work from a *vc-diff*
buffer), whereas this has not been adapted (yet) to work with a *vc-log*
or *cvs-commit* buffer.
