There's no reason we can't split the ChangeLog file.  Currently,
the generated ChangeLog file is c. 200K, which doesn't seem
horrendously large to me.  However, I'll defer to others on this
point.  I don't, however, think that the ChangeLog being large
is a particularly good reason to not maintain one.

Reading the sourceforge docs, it would appear that we can use
their syncmail script to send mails to, say, an erc-commits
list.  If people think this is a good idea, I can try and set it
up.
