I agree with both your points.

The standard practice for ChangeLogs is not really in doubt, IMO
(modulo minor cosmetic details).

I'd really like there to be a standard for both, so I hope you push
through with that discussion and get it to a conclusion.
I don't really care what the standard is, so much as there is one.
I don't think I have the enthusiasm to help get it done right now.
