I think nobody knows the exact audience, except that it's certainly
very varied. For example, phoronix is a popular website and it often
releases article directly based on the change text. This is pretty
clear in the list of articles about F34 [1]. We also know that sometimes
the change page lives on, like the merged-usr page [2], which is still
being cited regularly. So I think getting the texts on those pages
approachable and clear is very important.
