You use the title of the PR as a changelog item instead of every commit message.

It forces you to think a moment for a good PR title, but it is an small price to pay when it gives you a 0 extra work changelog that is good enough for semi-internal use.

Instead of using the title, could the changes be put in the description using a custom syntax? Prefix the line with `CHANGELOG:` or something like that.

    git --no-pager log | grep 'CHANGELOG: '
