Hi,
for packages, that are only sparingly uploaded,
the current trimming implementation removes most context.
# Stop processing the changelog if we reached the cut-off date \
and at least one entry has been added.
if (($entry_time < CUTOFF_DATE) && ($entry_num >= 1)) {
In worst case only one entry would be kept,
what would make the remaining changelog file unusable for eg
looking up the most recent changes for a package.
I'd suggest using a higher number of minimum entries, like 20 or 50.
