We can do this without moving to git. Here's how it might work:
1. When writing a patch, add a new temporary file e.g. ChangeLogEntry that
stores new change log entry in each directory where ChangeLogs are located.
2. ChangeLogEntry files are added to git/svn checkouts
3. Upload the patch (including ChangeLogEntry) for a review. Bugzilla shows
ChangeLogEntry filesas new files (can be tweeked,of course)
4. Once you get r+, you land the patch. The commit message editor will
automatically find ChangeLogEntry files and aggregate the result as the
commit message.
5. You commit. The commit hook ensures no ChangeLogEntry files are actually
committed into the svn repository.
