Now that we're focusing on quality for 0.3, I'd like to vote for 
improved changelogs.  We should be mentioning new features and noting 
what we fixed, ideally throwing in who did what.  Since the changelog 
and rev is only rolled once per release, it would be up to the person 
doing the release to edit the changelog to include this info.  Since 
many people look at the changelogs to find bug fixes and features, I 
think that this is important to do.   I'll volunteer to format the entry 
and pull in the bug info prior to release if necessary.

Here's an example format that I have previously used.  We can use this 
or simplify it some by removing the info on what file was changed, and 
if people want to, we can also drop the names for who did what.  The 
changes and bug numbers are the most important part.

foo (0.15) precise; urgency=low
