I don't think it's worthwhile to add ChangeLog support to the website. Personnally, I've started to remove ChangeLog from my packages. Usually it's just upstream update plus when another dev rebuild/fix your package they forget or don't bother to update the ChangeLog. I'm not the only one doing that. I update the abs tree daily and there is a definite trend going on about removing ChangeLog from the repos. The pacman package doesn't even have a ChangeLog. ;)
