This sounds like a good idea for me too, i guess i even think i know how this could be handled without too much automatition. As far as i understand it, using the 'cvs' utitility one can also extract the logs from the cvs server. That way the one who's packing stuff, in this case probably raster, would just need a script parsing the output since the last date given. I guess after the finish of my exams (at the 2. of february) i would surely find the time to provide such a script if it happens that no one has the actual time to write it, though i rather belive it shouldn't be that big deal. The goal would be that you just start the script and it actually creates the 'Changelog' + maybe even creating the tarballs + maybe generating some html changelog. If there is interest for such a script, let me know.
