I don't know how official the guideline at
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/Join
is, but it states that the CVS changelog format is the same as for the
spec file changelog.

The CVS changelog is indeed a bit redundant since everything important
is already in the spec changelog, thus it might be used in a freer
fashion.
