I do not think you can mandate policy that covers all cases
here, we may have to do things on a case by case basis. Just leave
enough leeway in policy for multiple solutions to be legal.

Ny proposal is to stop micromanagement and leave some things
for the maintainer to decide. As long as a changelog.gz entity
exists, the maintainer should be competent enough to determine what
goes in there. They know their package best.
