[Nut-upsdev] Heads-up about ChangeLog file maintenance and gitlog2changelog.py script

Hello all,

  Just a little heads-up, perhaps primarily to developers who use variants
of the `tools/gitlog2changelog.py` script in their projects (I know some
are out there!) :

* There were some fixes to the script earlier in the year (regarding
non-ASCII author names and asciidoc section titles), and about allowing to
customize CHANGELOG_FILE or stream to stdout completely
* On the caller side, https://github.com/networkupstools/nut/pull/2435 goes
to some extent to *avoid* re-generating the file when Git metadata did not
change in the local repo, which should speed up development cycles. You
might want something like this in your Makefiles too :)

Hope this helps,
Jim Klimov
