So, I am a bit leary of this change for the same reason that I was for
the last few changes like this. Namely, we are building out own layer on
top of rpm to make our lives easier, when we probibly should try and
just improve rpm to do this for everyone.

I realize that rpm is slow to move and this might not be practical, but
I sure wish we would try. 

As a strawman, what about this that upstream might take: 

* keep the same macros you propose (don't care what colour the bikeshed
is)
* src.rpms grow a (optional) releases (or whatever) dir. 
* under this (optional) dir we have a subdir for each version. 
* under that (optional) dir we have a subdir for each release.
* under that (optional) dir we have files for changelogs.

So, the last few ansible builds would have:

ansible-2.9.17-1.fc34:

ansible/releases/2.9.17/1/update-to-2.9.17
ansible/releases/2.9.16/2/conflict-with-ansible-base
ansible/releases/2.9.16/2/Adjust-collections-generator
ansible/releases/2.9.16/1/update-to-2.9.16
...

When building, rpm would sort the releases dir, then the version subdir,
then concat the changelog fragments into a changelog. This way
everything is in the src.rpm.

When doing a PR, you would make a new version subdir and 
put a changelog fragment in it and commit it with any of
your other changes. 

Probibly some problems with that, but I thought I would throw it out
there from my sleep deprived mind. :) 

Anyhow, I just am a bit leary of us building up more and more around
rpm, and not just fixing rpm.
