There were no objections, but Siddhesh never got around to it either, so
I have done this now.  Here is the complete set of renames:

old name                          new name
--------                          --------
ChangeLog.1                       ChangeLog.old/ChangeLog.1
ChangeLog.10                      ChangeLog.old/ChangeLog.10
ChangeLog.11                      ChangeLog.old/ChangeLog.11

ChangeLog.17                      ChangeLog.old/ChangeLog.17
ChangeLog.18                      ChangeLog.old/ChangeLog.18
ChangeLog.2                       ChangeLog.old/ChangeLog.2

localedata/ChangeLog              ChangeLog.old/ChangeLog.localedata

As suggested by Joseph, this includes libidn/ChangeLog and
localedata/ChangeLog; further changes to those directories should be
logged at top level.
