There is disagreement within the project about this.

Dev. ref. says something like "document only user-visible changes".  And
lots of people do this.  But for the RFS process, much more detail is
required (as you saw in the muse-el RFS).

The other thing is that when packages are maintained in git, we do not
need to duplicate the git commit history in the changelog.  But some
people do.

I do not have a settled opinion myself on what our best practice should
be.  However, your diff quoted above seems sensible for a beginner's
guide, as we would expect people reading it to be going through the RFS
process.
