Oh god, that's like saying you want to generate the NEWS file from the git commit log.
I meant nothing less than: rpm -q --changelog kernel-desktop
That kind of thing only makes sense. This is actually a changelog.
That's not really true.
That only makes sense when the git/svn/vcs log indeed contains descriptive entries.
And entries would need to be classified. Some of the entries would be just for co-developers and some others for users. Not everything from the vcs source log should be shown to the user, he should get a descriptive changelog ...
OBS-web recently took out the text box that allowed you to comment on web-based edits, so you have lots of empty comments when changes are made through the web-ui. That kills your idea pretty much, but even if that text box was reinstated (which I'd recommend), it still has many drawbacks. For one, it depends on user discipline, for two, once you make a mistake on the VCS log, you can't undo it. Mistakes happen, so that's not really good.
On the other hand, OBS vcs changelogs also contain SR descriptions when SRs are accepted. That would in fact make for a good changelog.
