Technically, the major difference is git recording each and every

... merge cleanup.
... fix typo in previous commit.

Could one of these help?
A) Generate RPM changelog automatically from git, but only process
commit messages with some token, like "%changelog"
B) Have package maintainers use git commit editing tools to make a
'clean history' - squash typo commits, for example, and replace merge
messages with something more informative.
