metadata entry "changelog"



Dear mentors,

I would like to improve an existing Debian package.  Based on the typical
pattern and name convention of a project based on GitHub, entry `Changelog:` in
file `debian/upstream/metadata` currently points to an address normally used
to present individual releases.  The anticipated pattern of the line then
should be

```
Changelog: https://github.com/markdownlint/markdownlint/releases
```

Though not explicit about functionality added, or bugs corrected, the project
currently maintains only a list version tags (vide supra).  The address above
does not contain the wanted information.

```
https://github.com/markdownlint/markdownlint/tags
```

My question to you:

* Is there precedent of filling the line in `metadata` by

  ```
  Changelog: https://github.com/markdownlint/markdownlint/tags
  ```

  instead (maybe with `Tags` instead of `Changelog`), or

* do you recommend to populate

  ```
  http://github.com/markdownlint/markdownlint/releases
  ```

  (post-hoc) to eventually close the gap to package the project for Debian?

Regards,
