getting people to care is all about perceived cost/benefit. if it is difficult 
or takes a lot of time, the benefit has to be even higher. if the cost part of 
the equation is low(er), then the benefit sell doesn't have to be as strong 
either.

i don't think we'll ever get the changelog process improved as long as it is 
as difficult as editing an external file. it works for plasma only because i 
turned my back on the wiki, more or less, (bad aaron!, bad!) and i'm 
determined to have that list there to document our progress. the "determined" 
bit is not going to be common, however.

everyone commits, though ... :)

when it's made as simple as possible, then people will start to "care" if only 
because the cost is so low that any amount of benefit will make it worthwhile.
