I hacked together the attached shell script and ran it against the
current "release-notes/" document. It gave this output:
[...snip...]
In addition to the attached shell script, I propose adding an
"AUTHORS" file to each document. The example one I used above is:
==[release-notes/AUTHORS]==
########################################################################
# We use this AUTHORS file to map CVS checkin names to real names and
# email addresses.
########################################################################
# DEFAULT fedora-docs-list(a)redhat.com -

This is probably a good idea regardless of the route we choose for
populating the %changelog, IMHO.
Now that I look at the voluminous output, I'm less sure that we
want
the CVS log in the RPM. I think your current dummied-up %changelog
is perhaps more useful.
I think James Laska had some input on the %changelog hacking, in that
just setting a dummy was neither helpful nor advisable. (I'm kind of
putting words in his mouth; he was less unkind, but in all honesty my
solution didn't deserve a lot of kindness.) ;-) I think he suggested
keeping a ChangeLog with the documents that would be used only for
packaging. I am still mulling that over...
