I've been encouraging folks to stick their changelogs in a Google Doc
(or even Word) when they're writing them.  This gives them better
spelling and grammar checking than is available in most editors and also
makes it easier for folks to improve it collaboratively.  I find it a
lot more efficient than sending 10 copies back and forth in email.

The downside is that those fancy programs insert unicode willy nilly for
stuff like this.  You usually need to catch it with scripts because it's
hard to spot visually.

It might make a good checkpatch addition, if it's not already there.
