We're getting closer to the backyard[1] here, but the last change could be terribly minor, and the person making that change may not actually have primary responsibility for that version of the package. Alternatively, if you're invoking the tautology, where the last step is to sign the changelog, so the person who signs the changelog is the person whose name is there, I agree, but don't think that's important enough to document.
