So what policy are we settling on for this?  In the past I have had a script to generate this for me.

I second that. I like to apply the patch as-is, test it and have a
"ready" change log entry to copy&paste, however a changelog "diff"
creates most often a conflict, since a time and other changes might have
mixed in, as well as I might have reviewed or modified the patch itself.
In other words, I'd like to know what I am am patching, but a material
diff to ChangeLog is a nuisance.
