M-x add-change-log-entry formats things a specific way. Please use

I think multiple authorship is a good reason to change the
documentation, myself. It would not be hard to arrange to accept the
format you used.
FWIW, change-log-mode in Emacs has this regexp:
;; Acknowledgements.
("\\(^\t\\| \\)\\(From\\|Patch\\(es\\)? by\\|Report\\(ed by\\|
from\\)\\|Suggest\\(ed by\\|ion from\\)\\)"
I've always assumed it traces back to some coding standard that
suggest that these forms should be used, so I'm using them. (Hmm,
add-log.el seems to be in need of syncing as well..)
