you may want to think about getting rid of the git stuff and just
giving a cleaner release notes. Easier to read and digest the features
that way. Most users don't ned the hash's and such. Author info is
good if it is not you with a thanks to <name>

TLDR: move to merges, make sure merge commits have nice change log
style messages, only show merge commit messages (with some script
based munging) in the changelog

I tend to agree with you to a large extent. We need an explicit
changelog. That is a description of change that is useful and
consumable to an end user. That said that description should be part
of the commit history (storing relevant information close to where it
is relevant). I think we can actually get to this model by moving to
merging rather then cherry-pick and signoff. We could quite easily put
a nice descriptive comment in the merge commit and then have a script
that strips off the not-relevant for changelog git specific bits.
