That makes a lot of sense for a branch :-)  In order to save some typing 
during the generation of the patches and during the final submission, it 
might still make sense to format the ChangeLogs to something like

testsuite/
          * gfortran.dg/...
          * gfortran.dg/...
fortran/
          * decl.c: ...
          * st.c: ...

On future branches it might make more sense to have a separate 
testsuite/ChangeLog.branch_name.
