This still applies: in the changelog styles #1 and #2, the EVR ends up
being a part of the email address which is hardly "right".

The problem in the example you provided in
http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2010-February/130062.html
is that it lumps two EVR's into a single changelog entry. That just
doesn't make sense.
Taking the same changelog snippet (style #1):
* Thu Jan 28 2010 Michael Schwendt <mschwendt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> - 2.2-10
- Fix tuple_copy() further (it was completely broken as the mowgli
dict wasn't copied at all).
* Thu Jan 28 2010 Michael Schwendt <mschwendt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> - 2.2-9
- Let set_tuple_cb() work on a copied tuple
(the metadata updates flood is too racy IMO).
- Fix tuple_copy().
In style #3 it would be:
* Thu Jan 28 2010 Michael Schwendt <mschwendt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
- 2.2-10
- Fix tuple_copy() further (it was completely broken as the mowgli
dict wasn't copied at all).
* Thu Jan 28 2010 Michael Schwendt <mschwendt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
- 2.2-9
- Let set_tuple_cb() work on a copied tuple
(the metadata updates flood is too racy IMO).
- Fix tuple_copy().
