Both packages have their own history. What changelog preserve in
the new mailx in rawhide -- the old entries from mailx-8.x, the

I would consider it a package rename, nail -> mailx, thus the nail
changelog should be preserved.
Would it have been more appropriate to just have nail obsolete mailx?
Nope...
What is the actual upstream name?
...because the actual upstream name is "mailx". (It was "nail"
initially, then it was renamed, since the original mailx-8.x development
is stopped long time ago...)
Hence new "mailx-12.3" upgrades the previous one "mailx-8.x" and
obsoletes "nail" (providing /usr/bin/nail symlink for backward
compatibility).
