FWIW, there is a gnulib module for that purpose: gitlog-to-changelog.
Once you import it to the project, the following Makefile rule will
generate ChangeLog at make dist:

dist-hook:
        if test -d .git; then                                           \
          $(top_srcdir)/build-aux/gitlog-to-changelog > $(distdir)/ChangeLog; \
        fi
