After your message (subject: No "From so-and-so" in ChangeLog [1]) on
emacs-devel, I have fixed all "From so-and-so" and "tiny change"
ChangeLog entries in the _current_ Gnus ChangeLog files [2].  I didn't
do this in the ChangeLog.? files (entries older than 2004-01-04)
because of lack of time.

It would be nice if change-log-mode could highlight the correct syntax
better and use `font-lock-warning-face' for "From so-and-so" and other
mistakes (e.g. only one space in before the mail address).

The article [3] with the proposed patch by Satyaki Das was on
2003-02-28.  The commit by Jesper Harder was done some months later
(2003-08-07).  Jesper might have done it independently.  Jesper?

Bye, Reiner.
