Note that we already mention `magit-commit-add-log` in
https://orgmode.org/worg/org-contribute.html#commit-messages

I personally dislike magit-generate-changelog because it tempts to
document only a single change in a function, even when multiple changes
were made in that function.

However, the command might indeed be useful for others. It could be a
good addition to https://orgmode.org/worg/org-contribute.org I do not
think that magit staff belongs to CONTRIBUTE file directly.
Patches are welcome.

Best,
