Well ideally, when you noticed that somebody touched your package and
you are going to update it, you should check where the updated package
actually is. If  you built it once again in boost tag, the things would
be simpler.

But yes, the changelog might be better and make a difference. The
Fedora's mass rebuild changelog usually contains links to wiki and for
Ruby rebuilds, we link to change proposal wiki page, which might be (I
believe) good starting point to know what is going on.
