I'm not sure that's blocking plugin commits without a changelog posting to the wiki page is the best way to address your concern, or maybe I'm misunderstanding your proposal.
For me, at least, a plugin release is typically composed of multiple commits. Many of those commits are not relevant to the changelog that is posted to the wiki site. For example, describing new tests is not useful on the changelog on the wiki page. Another example, minor updates to dependencies are probably not worth mentioning on the changelog on the wiki page. As an alternative, since the wiki pages can be edited by anyone with a login, when you detect a changelog is missing from a plugin that is important to you, you could review the github commits and provide a changelog entry to meet your needs and to help others who may be searching a changelog entry.
