I agree that the ChangeLog is mostly redundant with git history (and have advocated getting rid of them in the past) but there isn't a consensus on this in the glibc project. That said, the contribution checklist currently requires contributors to submit a ChangeLog along with their patch. If you feel strongly about it, please feel free to discuss this and drive the change in the contribution checklist. Siddhesh
