How about making it "Change-Log" in that case, and have the content of

directly added in the metadata ?  Rather than an url.

Well, I wouldn't object to that if it was added in addition to Change-Log-URL, but bear in mind this makes much more work for PyPI than Change-Log-URL.

Change-Log requires a new page, and integration with the package page.
Change-Log-URL just requires a new url field added on the existing package page.

Change-Log-URL also gives the freedom for package maintainers to keep their changelog wherever they like and refer to it. This might not be on PyPI; my changelogs are becoming sphinx pages, and while those pages are currently on packages.python.org, they will eventually be on http://simplistix.couk/software.

cheers,

Chris
