ChangeLog should be us-ascii because local variables for emacs set "coding: us-ascii".

% ruby -e 'ARGF.each_line{|line|p line.b unless line.force_encoding("us-ascii").valid_encoding?}' ChangeLog
"\t Patches by David Rodr\xC3\xADguez [ruby-core:56734] [Bug #8802]\n"

I would suggest to change an encoding of Changelog to UTF-8.
Please remember why we credit contributor's name in Changelog.
It is for thanking them. Incorrect name is not a polite way.....
