re-trying to answer more or less coherent:

having "cn" attribute for changelog would be best, imho, but it could be 
coupled with the mageia email of the packages(packagegroup). (if that is 
wanted, or even a package email could be made if the person in question 
wouldn't want to have their own email address on it).

it's an option that would stop the discussion because hopefully everyone would 
be happy then. but it may be a little complex, as i said.
