Package: devscripts
Version: 2.10.27
Severity: normal
Hello,
let's consider a package maintained by a team in a common repository;
changes are done by the team members and the interleaves with each
other, so the changelog is something like:
[ Author A ]
* changed here
* changed there
[ Author B]
* simple change somewhere
[ Author C]
* just typo fix
Now, let's consider "Author A" wants to add a new item in the changeloh,
debchange recognize it's a multi-author changelog entry and it prompts
for:
[ Author A ]
* changed here
* changed there
[ Author B ]
* simple change somewhere
[ Author C ]
* just typo fix
[ Author A ]
* <cursor prompt>
Well, I think that dch should recognize that "Author A" has already a
"part" of the changelog entry, and prompt right under it, like:
[ Author A ]
* changed here
* changed there
* <cursor prompt>
[ Author B]
* simple change somewhere
[ Author C]
* just typo fix
Thanks,
Sandro

Extract from dch(1):
DEBCHANGE_MULTIMAINT_MERGE
If set to yes, when adding changes in multiple-maintainer mode
debchange will check whether previous changes by the current
maintainer exist and add the new changes to the existing block
rather than creating a new block. Default is no.
