[Fedora-packaging] Changelog usage clarification

Hi all.

I need a clarification about the Changelog section in a spec file
during a package review process.

In particular, pursuant to
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Changelogs guidelines:

> Every time you make changes, that is, whenever you increment the
E-V-R >of a package, add a changelog entry.
> ... Changelog entries should provide a brief summary of the changes
> done to the package between releases, including noting updating to
> a new version, adding a patch, fixing other spec sections, note
> bugs fixed, and CVE's if any

In https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=966201, David says that
Changelog changes' list is not necessary during package review process
because it is still a "initial package" state.

For all my packages and not only, every one always asks me to update
the Changelog, also for a minimal modification in a package
pre-review/review process. To be sure and to resolve this issue with
David, I need some clarification regard to how to use properly the
Changelog section since the first package review submit.

Greetings.
