I'd like for all members of the Project to agree on a common format. Frankly, I don't like the one currently implemented in dchanges. I assume there are a few people who agree with me, as not everyone is using dchanges to write their announcements.
I'd like to be using a format that is *both* machine-readable and human-readable. The currently-used format is certainly machine- readable, but it isn't human-readable at all. I don't think that these are mutually-exclusive goals. Personally, I like Ian J.'s ChangeLog format--I think it satifies both goals of being human-readable and machine-readable.
