Although I'd rather use Emacs for anything serious, I don't have it installed 
everywhere either: vi or ee do have size advantages, you're certainly right.

However, the ChangeLog format is pretty simple, no reason you couldn't emulate 
it by hand.  Entries look like:

2003-05-30  Charles Swiger  <chuck at pkix.net>
         * added Mersenne Twister RNG in place of srandom()

         * used cproto to convert old K&R C code to ANSI with prototypes,
         which fixed a program hang in the dust accretion process

...but emacs does a good job of autoindenting new entries for you, and 
wrapping the text, etc.
