+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.
