I believe, and my memory is pretty fuzzy, is that it's best practice to
maintain that changelog because it's useful for auditing and tracking purposes
given that it's available on the rpm itself.
There's probably a couple questions here
1. Are we going to maintain it going forward? If not, we should just dump
it entirely.
2. If we choose to do so, do we want/need to update the changelog for the
missing commits (and probably to use the dev list as authors, rather than
individuals)?
Might be worth opening a discuss on it. I could be persuaded either way in
terms of whether we update it for this PR or not, but I have a slight
preference on adding it until there's agreement we aren't doing it.
