For the style bot, the style checker is here:
http://trac.webkit.org/browser/trunk/Tools/Scripts/webkitpy/style/checker.py

One would need to add a checker for the change log.  You can see a similar
change done here where Adam Roben added one to catch errors in xml files
after he had a problem with someone messing this up:
http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/74149

I'm willing to review such a change (or give tips as needed).
