No... users can access %changelog for the RPMs on their system via
rpm.  Making them go to a git repository elsewhere to figure out what
changed isn't exactly friendly.

Unless of course you meant "have fedpkg automatically stick a
git-shortlog into the %changelog section of the spec file on commit"
or something.  Then.. maybe.

And yes, this assumes in all cases that developers are actually
putting useful information in both %changelog and commit logs.
