No, this error comes from the fact you probably have no changelog_ignore
file yet and the code here

  local skip_patterns = io.open(get_confdir() .. "/changelog_ignore", "r")
  if skip_patterns then
    for pattern in skip_patterns:lines() do
      table.insert(skip_pattern_list, pattern)
    end
  end
  skip_patterns:close()

should actually read like this in this case:

  local skip_patterns = io.open(get_confdir() .. "/changelog_ignore", "r")
  if skip_patterns then
    for pattern in skip_patterns:lines() do
      table.insert(skip_pattern_list, pattern)
    end
    skip_patterns:close()
  end

Still, even after I fixed that I didn't manage to output the log
messages, obviously there are revisions for me which are crawled.
Haven't looked further into it though, now you're on your own ;)

Thomas.
