The problem here is that people use very different names for
Changelog-Files
The current CPANTS-regex for changelogs
qr{^chang(es?|log)|history}
doesn't find a matching file in 1636 dists
(cpants.perl.org is down ATM due to a Catalyst-problem...)
And then there probably dozens of different styles for the content of
CHANGES

Such a module would indeed be great. I was toying with the idea of
writing a small script that compares new cpan uploads with stuff
installed at my machine(s) and reports new dists and what changed.
But I never got around writing it, as changes-parsing seems quite
futile.
