I don't know why anyone would want a natural language description of user visible changes in a release. The convention that worked where I worked was to praise the first line of such changes prefxed with "uv:" which would become bullet points for the changelog. Rarely would any need to be rewritten except for fixing the odd typo or punctuation.
