Changelog and new version of upstream

Hello,

Just a small question about %changelog section. When RPM is updated only to
follow new version of upstream package, what should contain the %changelog
section? Only a small message telling it's using a new source, or a list of
changes in the application?

For end user, second solution seems to be better. But it could imply long
changelog section. And as it is truncated most of the time when displayed
(as with repoview), it is not so useful.

Another question. Is there a need for a review/approval before committing
and requesting build when only the upstream package has been changed?

Thanks,

Christian Jodar.
