I wouldn't say that. Currently it is of questionable value currently but
it would be much more valuable without just version bumping and more
careful thought put into justifying the need for updates. Every update
adds to a large cost in terms of build time, bandwidth, potential
regressions etc.
I find it unreasonable to ask of package maintainers to take the role of
technical writers. Anything beyond copy/pasting will widen the gap
between packages maintained by native english speakers and packages that
aren't. ChangeLog typically contains a large number of fairly detailed
technical changes that has no place in the RPM spec log or in bodhi. i
think it's unreasonable to ask anything more that a comment such as 'bug
fix release' or 'introduces some new features'.
