I strongly disagree with "as it provides no added value". 

The traditional changelogs do provide added value: 

- the changelogs, as text files, are very searchable 
(see above for detecting previous contributions!) 
- they give a nice overview of what went into 
each development release and final release 
- they name authors and reviewers for each ticket 

Many other free software projects maintain changelogs 
as text files (which might point to their added value too).


I'm not opposed to creating such changelogs. I'm just announcing that I 
will not be working on it.

In fact, https://github.com/sagemath/sage/issues/31533 proposes to "Migrate 
old Sage release tours and changelogs from Sage website and wiki to Sage 
documentation".

That may be something that people who perceive an added value in text 
changelogs may be movtivated to work on.
