I second that and I would like to help, if I may.

According to gcc-mirror on github, Ada basecode is above C++

C 47.7%
Ada 17.5%
C++ 14.9%
Go 7.4%
GCC Machine Description 4.7%
Fortran 2.4%
Other 5.4%

git clone https://github.com/gcc-mirror/gcc

git log > log.gcc (volume: 124M)
cat log.gcc | grep adacore > log.ada (1M, ~25K contribs since 2005)
grep "\[Ada\]" ./log.gcc > log-oneliner.ada (190K, 3200 lines)

grep -B 2 -A 20 adacore log.gcc > log-detail.ada
cat log-detail.ada | grep -B 2 -A 20 [ada] log.gcc > log-changes.ada


It seems that everything is there to create a more or less relevant
changelog.

But Adalog's comments are one thing, sorted and relevant informations
for developers are another.

A raw copy/paste would be useless, we would have to analyze the
changelog to give back useful information.

We should also edit a changelog for each GCC release. The above metrics
were made on master.
