Not all commits correspond with a new release downstream, and not all commit messages are relevant to the end user to be part of the change log. For example, commits related with increasing gating test coverage efforts, or setting up gating.yaml itself. Another example is linting setting and/or configurations. How is that handled with autochangelog? Can we tell it to skip certain commits? Or should we include it all?

Carlos.

Hi everyone,

I'm revisting the topic of rpmautospec because I was doing some work
on various packages, and it's annoying that some packages are using
rpmautospec and others are not.

All my packages have been converted, so in day-to-day work, I don't
even think about %changelog. When working with other packages, I'll
forget to update the Relase and/or %changelog. Today I was rebasing
some pull requests in pagure, and the _only_ conflicts that I had were
about Release and %changelog.

I think it's time to switch to rpmautospec completely.
Thus, the proposal:
- new packages MUST use rpmautospec
- packagers SHOULD convert their packages
- provenpackagers MAY convert existing packages
   (e.g. when they want to push some fix or separately from other
    work)
- people submitting pull requests against src.fp.o MAY also
   include a conversion in the pull request and packagers SHOULD
   merge it.

(FTR, 'rpmautospec convert' does the conversion, incl. the commit
to dist-git. Manual conversion should not be used.)
