ChangeLog{,.12{2,3}}: Revise copyright notices.

Browse Source 
Add copyright notices for myself and Ingo Schwarze.  Ingo and I have
never executed copyright assignment paperwork with the FSF, so our
"legally significant"[1] changes to these files can't be under the FSF's
copyright.

(I retain an FSF copyright notice corresponding to all changes not
authored by me or Ingo--and which are above the "legal significance"
threshold--because I don't know who _has_ filed copyright assignment
paperwork with the FSF; I know only that Ingo and I haven't.)

[1] "A change of just a few lines (less than 15 or so) is not legally
significant for copyright."  Conversely, >= 15 lines would be.

Strictly, Ingo has contributed only 12 lines of change log entry
(counting blank lines) to the current ChangeLog file, but I'm
documenting a copyright credit for him anyway.  I'll let FSF
attorneys tell me how unreasonable a decision that is, should they find
the issue to merit attention.
