You can find the RPM changelog via "rpm -q --changelog <packagename>" Finding the upstream changelog is more challenging. If it exists, it would probably be in the docdir (/usr/share/doc/<packagename>-<version>). Now I agree that extending RPM to add metadata to mark the upstream changelog file or URL would be an excellent idea. It's a one-off change to specfiles and means that we don't need to write the same thing in every update - a win all round.
