I have submitted something against release-notes so that is in hand.

rsyslog has #1031827 which seems to at least have had a response  in 2023

I dont mind adding an entry for logcheck's NEWS as well as/instead of
logcheck-database's NEWS, @Mathias Gibbens what do you think?

The one drawback i see is that 99.9% of people will upgrade both logcheck
and logcheck-database together so will get 2 emails from apt-listchanges if
we put it in both..... So we should delete it from logcheck-database's NEWS
I think?  - logcheck does require the same layout of rules even if you dont
use logcheck-database so i think this makes sense.  I hope this would not
crash apt-listchanges fir unstable users if the NEWS file
shrinks/disappears due to whatever culls.old entries...?
