This is for developers.

It's nice for advanced Emacs users to be able to read Changelog
files and check when a new command has been introduced.  If we
require users to know how to use Git for this, the audience shrinks.

My point about keeping Changelogs is that they a useful read for
advanced users *and* for developers who want to know how to format a
correct commit message.

I spend *a lot* of time educating Org's contributors on how to write
a correct commit message.  If we had a Changelog directly in Org, I'd
spend less time, because occasional contributors would immediately
spot those tiny conventions.
