In a pretty busy project i maintain we have a rule that significant
patch series have to append to an [unrelease] section of the changelog,
and even CI tests that will cry when things change without the
changelog changing.
While that is good to not miss stuff, it causes a lot of merging on
that one file when things are not merged in strict order and fast.

At the moment i would guess most Isar users are on "next" anyways,
because master is moving to slow and releases hardly ever happen. So
manually creating a changelog that might be incomplete is probably OK.
