You might want NEWS rather than ChangeLog. See the GNU Coding Standards on both, starting here: https://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/standards.html#NEWS-File.

I wish their standards elaborated a bit more on NEWS vs. ChangeLog. It seems like the ChangeLog is intended to supply something of the higher-level view that pull requests provide in the Github workflow, by batching and summarizing a group of related changes. It also supplies history absent VCS information, such as when the code is received in a tarball.
