Patcher has two project options that give you some control on the generated ChangeLog skeleton: :change-logs-user-name and :change-logs-user-mail. As you might expect, these are strings defining your name and mail address for ChangeLog entries'headers. When nil, Patcher falls back to (respectively) the :user-name and :user-mail project options. If in turn set to nil, Patcher lets the function patch-to-change-log decide what to use (most probably what the user options user-full-name and user-mail-address say).
