Very nice.

Minor non-technical issues here, your patch is corrupted (linewrapped
and tabs converted to spaces) and can't be applied at all. Can you fix
your email client and try again? Look at
Documentation/email_clients.txt for hints on how to do this.

According to legal advice given to me, this isn't needed / true, so can
you drop it? Or, if you have different legal advice, might I ask for
what the legal justification is that this needs to be added?

No need to do this, we use git now and that's where the changelog goes.
We should just delete this "fake changelog" entirely from this file.
