The packages ChangeLogs include iso-2022-jp-encoded kana and one Han
character, so, strictly speaking, we should split the difference and call
them iso-2022-8 :-) .
That’s a bit moot for this commit, though, as the ó of López _can_ be
encoded in iso-8859-1.

find xemacs-21.5 -name ChangeLog -exec grep -nH '[^[:print:][:space:]]' {} \;
find packages -name ChangeLog -exec grep -nH '[^[:print:][:space:]]' {} \;
did the job with GNU grep in the C language environment. Most of the output
is names:

Maybe it�s a bit presumptuous of us to assume that other projects’
ChangeLogs will use the coding system we use.

That’s kind of generally true.

iso-8859-1. Sorry, that's the current standard. (It's Lisp files
that are ISO-2022-7.) Fixing this would be straightforward but
tedious in XEmacs, could be surprising elsewhere (including older
XEmacs ChangeLogs).
If you decide to fix it, the way to do it would be to convert all
ChangeLogs to utf-8. This requires proofreading (ie, use
'(skip-chars-forward "[\000-\177]")' or an equivalent grep to find
non-ASCII characters.
Then add an entry to file-coding-system-alist for ChangeLog.
Probably there should be some hook function as well to check for other
coding systems.
