But I generally don't trust lists of upstream changes in .changes files I did not maintain myself because I don't know whether the package maintainer added the full list or shortened it based on random criteria.
I usually drop git log entries that are likely not relevant to users, e.g. commits about tests, android/windows/mac Also reverts if the reverted change was in the same update. On the original topic: I like the changelog entry, because
cat /etc/motd Have a lot of fun...
and it was still understandable what it was about. Also IMHO having naked "updated to version X" entries are not very useful, because I can already figure out the versions in /var/log/zypp/history or https://github.com/bmwiedemann/openSUSE/commits/master/packages/p/python-M2C... Some upstreams already provide summaries of updates (easy: copy&paste) and if they don't, a packager can add value for users by figuring out what relevant changes happened.
