Changelog entries as folder or in wiki

[Seb via Digitalmars-d]

Hi all,

I had to rebase a couple of PRs lately due to conflicts with the 
changelog and I believe I am not the only one, which is why 
probably people mostly don't include their change(s) in the log 
anymore. AFAICT they either submit a follow-up PR once it gets 
merged or sometimes forget to update the changelog at all.

It would be great if we had a better, painless way to handle the 
changelog - two simple ideas:

1) Use a changelog folder instead of file
2) Let the users put their changes into the wiki

Honestly I prefer 1) - the changelog entry can be approved & 
checked during the code review on Github and the reviewers can 
check that such an addition is provided in the PR. On a new 
release we can just cat the files and remove them - having a 
short and long description is easy too: `mychange.short.dd` and 
`mychange.long.dd`. One can simply `cat *.short.dd  *.long.dd` to 
get the full changelog. Btw grouping of similar changes is 
automatically done by the filenames.

Cheers,

Seb
