I was confused for a moment about whether you meant the ChangeLog file
in our sources or the %changelog section in the specfile; I assume you
meant the latter.  That information comes up in 'rpm -q --changelog
glibc', so I am not sure if it's kosher to do so.  You might want to
check if it's allowed according to the Fedora packaging guidelines or
even easier, ask on the fedora-packaging list.
