Hmm, I am not convinced that this is a good move, because such a "time-based pruning" is a pretty random/arbitrary criterion, which is not necessarily related to a changelog entry's value. The same applies to "n-th last entries" or "size-based pruning". Instead I'd prefer "source-level downsizing", i.e. maintainers to keep their changelog's in "reasonable shape".
