In fact, of the packages that I regularly test that use autotest
(m4, libtool, bison, tar, and autoconf itself), they all have the
common property of a single ChangeLog belonging to the package;
and while m4 also has gnulib/ChangeLog, that can be reconstructed
by the fact that gnulib is a git submodule, and updating the
submodule is an action documented in the top ChangeLog.
