It does seem that there's been a trend forming lately where the rpm's changelog is covering only what's happened as far as the packaging itself goes and less about the software being packaged. Maybe that's all the rpm changelog should ever be? Less useful for what I need, yes, but also more truthful by not providing a false impression.
The RPM changelog should generally be more about the packaging related changes rather than upstream and bodhi update should have a summary of the upstream changes or atleast a link to the upstream changelog. If upstream doesn't provide a good summary, it doesn't hurt for package maintainers to ask them. I have found that upstream developers are quite responsive to such suggestions especially if you provide them tips to automate the generation of it As a specific example, askbot (which powers http://ask.fedoraproject.org) has a good summary of changes in a easily accessible place after I requested them
