As far as I can tell, this is the third implementation of generated
changelogs ... did the autorelease / autochangelog work that was even
already deployed in staging not go anywhere?
If you're thinking about rpmautospec, I have in mind to submit it as a change
proposal in the coming month. Fall has been quite busy after the data center
move and I also did not want to have everyone check it and FESCo spend time on
it in a timeframe where we couldn't put up with the work afterward.
So my idea is to submit it in Q1 (Jan-March) to start on it (if approved) in Q2
(May-June).
