Reviewing code changes to see what has changed may be ok if you upgrade one library that you are going to use the library extensively. But for Distribution packagers (and surely other use cases), it is just too much. See http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/299 for more discussion, but please, avoid overengineering and rather get us changelogs soon. Maybe it would already help to add a "changelog-file" field to .cabal, just as with license-file, and reject packages on hackage that do not have this field and file, and later decide if we need a more standardized format for changelogs.
