Since in practice we don't do point releases from branches in glibc, with
my proposal (absent persuading the GCS maintainers of the non-utility for
ChangeLogs in certain cases) ChangeLogs would most likely only ever be
updated on master, not on branches. Branches would have commit messages
following the relevant conventions, but the script probably wouldn't be
run there.
