Message #3 received at submit <at> debbugs.gnu.org (full text, mbox):
Package: emacs
Version: 25.0.50
authors.el will need updating before the next release.
There's a FIXME comment, but I doubt that will get any attention.
I suspect the main problem is going be that was previously eg "files.el"
in the ChangeLog is now "lisp/files.el", which is going to make
authors.el think it refers to two separate files. Things like
authors-renamed-files-alist are set up on the basis of file names being
relative to the old per-directory C'logs. The fact that old and
new-style entries are mixed in the top-level ChangeLog.1 file is
probably going to be especially problematic.

remind about the following.

This last point no longer applies.

Thanks, I'll be careful about this and fix authors.el if needed.

I updated etc/AUTHORS last week with authors.el, and double-checked
this, but I couldn't find any issue with the generated file.

I'm surprised, but maybe authors-canonical-file-name means it works
itself out? If a test with a dummy tree with only two separate
ChangeLogs, one in lisp/ containing an entry for "files.el", and
one in top-level with an entry for "lisp/files.el", results in an
AUTHORS file with just a single changed file, then maybe it all Just
Works...

It seems to be the case, for instance, in lisp/ChangeLog.17 contains:
2015-04-05 Pete Williamson <petewil <at> chromium.org> (tiny-change)
Fix .emacs and .emacs.d/init file recursion problem for NaCl
* files.el (file-truename): Add NaCl to the exception list ms-dos uses.
and ChangeLog also has many references to lisp/files.el, like the
following one:
2016-01-16 Artur Malabarba <bruce.connor.am <at> gmail.com>
* lisp/files.el (dir-locals--all-files): Respect absolute file-names
* lisp/help-fns.el (describe-variable): Fix a left-over parenthesis
The resulting etc/AUTHORS file contains the following entries:
Artur Malabarba: wrote character-fold-tests.el faces-tests.el
isearch-tests.el let-alist.el simple-test.el sort-tests.el
tabulated-list-test.el
and changed package.el isearch.el character-fold.el files.el
tabulated-list.el package-test.el faces.el files-x.el menu-bar.el
replace.el align.el bytecomp.el help-fns.el cl-lib-tests.el custom.el
custom.texi map.el simple.el subr-tests.el variables.texi bindings.el
and 37 other files
[...]
Pete Williamson: changed configure.ac files.el leim/Makefile.in
lib-src/Makefile.in lisp/Makefile.in
