Huh? OBS already has authorship and change information in the
history log.

Nonsense. The .changes (and thus rpm's %changelog) is intended for
the end user that installs packages, not the developer. The information
should be displayed in YaST/zypper, so the user can make an informed
decision if he wants to install/update a package.
