Yes, as you know, the reasoning behind the FONTLOG is to provide a
descriptive template which merges the essential items from the usual
README/CHANGELOG/NEWS file, taking into account GNU/Free Software
conventions in software tarballs, but adding the specific structure
necessary for collaborative font design.

The majority of open fonts using a FONTLOG are released with a
FONTLOG.txt file in their tarball: with both caps and a .txt extension
to make it easier cross-OS and filesystems.

I suggest we continue recommending the capitalized + txt. extension
form.  Especially with the FONTLOG integration in FontForge.

Cheers,
