I feel like I’ve been lucky that when I saw the Keep a Changelog page, I thought, “Hm, weird that people need to be told that — all the (public-facing) software I know and work on maintains changelogs.
I am guessing that this is… not as common in some other software ecosystems.

They still manage to dump a lot of git commit information. I have seen some heavily engineered projects using Conventional Commits and release-please which respects a Changelog template but is sourced directly from commits.
Github releases also autogenerates changelogs. One wonders how effective such methods are in reaching out...
