Done, see attached. I also managed to produce the following:

For some strange reason it died on me around 2004, which is a shame
since Octave development really exploded around 2007. :-(
Btw, the Changelog format is described in the GNU coding standards, here:
http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/Style-of-Change-Logs.html
I am sure we can expect that other GNU member projects will adhere to
this format.

I tried it with the Octave Changelogs which go back to 1992 and
changed formatting more than once. Also, the Changelogs are scattered
amongst various directories; for that I manually went to each
directory, ran a quick sed on each Changelog so that all the files in
each subdirectory had that subdirectory as a prefix, catted all the
Changelogs together into one, and then ran convert_logs.py on that.
I'm not sure if this procedure should also be automated by the Python
script, recursing into subdirectories. Maybe.
Anyways, HTH
