No, but because of the quantity of commits[1] as a result of maintaining
subset of issues tree wide at once (like libpng, jpeg, libnotify, *kit,
u{disks,power}, lcms, fixing missing includes due to toolchain changes,
adding some consts, imagine the rest ...)
... the time alone if you have to stop on each package to wait for
echangelog to get done just doubles the amount of time you have to put
into committing them. That's just not worth the effort.
So not only they are rather useless, and information you can easily get
from sources.gentoo.org, they take your time as well.
