mkinitcpio does not have any changelog file: not on its site, nor in the package or CVS logs of the PKGBUILD. I think it is rather important to have a decent changelog for such an important package, so perhaps you could at least write clearer CVS entries. This does not only apply to this package as it is something I miss in a lot of packages.
This task depends upon

a) Are the gitweb entries sufficient?
b) Thomas, we can now use the 'ChangeLog' feature of pacman packages. See 'cmus' for an example

People tend to forget to update the ChangeLog, so you have a log for one update, but not for the next update, so I would rather omit it until devtools forces us to update it.

The git changelog should be okay, if we split our changes up into several commits if they adressed different issues.

git changelog looks pretty good to me.
