Just make changelog.dd to be manually edited list of what's new + future 
plans. Then tuck in an automated tool to generate bugs section to the 
release packaging scripts.

And automating bug entries list is trivial e.g. here is a D sketch 
(std.net.curl & std.csv rox) to generate DDoc entries in current 
changelog.dd format given 2 dates:

https://gist.github.com/3734045

And staying on topic it would be terrific (and simple) to have separate 
sections on bugzilla entries fixed per category: 
bugs/enhancements/regressions.
