Unless inclusion of such old changelog entries is intended, they
could be stripped off quite easily with something like:
sed -e '/\* [a-zA-Z]\{3\} [a-zA-Z]\{3\} [0-9]\{2\} \(200[0-2]\|199?\).*/,99999
d'
Of course, they are more ways to do it (including more complex ways).
How the algorithm currently works is that it looks for the first line
in the old changelog, and takes everything before that in the new
changelog for the report. So, if the first line for the old changelog
isn't in the new changelog at all, you get the whole thing.
