Well, I wouldn't object to that if it was added in addition to
Change-Log-URL, but bear in mind this makes much more work for PyPI than
Change-Log-URL.
Change-Log requires a new page, and integration with the package page.
Change-Log-URL just requires a new url field added on the existing
package page.
Change-Log-URL also gives the freedom for package maintainers to keep
their changelog wherever they like and refer to it. This might not be on
PyPI; my changelogs are becoming sphinx pages, and while those pages are
currently on packages.python.org, they will eventually be on
http://simplistix.couk/software.
cheers,
Chris
