People have mentioned Org-mode repeatedly throughout the years since I first wrote down the thoughts that became keepachangelog.com but I'll be honest, Org-mode doesn't seem to be broadly used in the greater open source community whereas Markdown (or just plain text) CHANGELOG.md, NEWS.md, History.md, and others are far more common.
There's surely personal bias at play, but I'm far more concerned with people keeping a changelog in the first place to worry too much about how exactly they do it. If Org-mode is what they go with, fine, but what we're facing right now is hordes of open source projects that people end up taking on as direct or transitive dependencies and which do not document their evolution in any meaningful way.
