I can't speak for the RH folks who do the forking… It'd be great if somebody who knows how that's done could answer. Fedora is already using rpmautospec widely enough that (if it was to be problem at all), it must already be a problem. At the level of specific solutions, obviously the obvious answer is to keep the git history. It's in general a great of source of information and discarding that is just an error. But if somebody were really to do that, it's fairly trivial to undo the conversion and get a static changelog again by inserting the output of 'rpmautospec changelog' in the %changelog section.
