Is this a case where Jira can help?  The SF issue tracker is difficult  
to use.  But if there was a more featureful and easier to use issue  
tracker, I'd want to see all these tracked in Jira instead of notes on  
a wiki page that will quickly become unwieldly.

I like the URL structure.  One of the nice things that Jira provides  
are automatically generated Release Notes (as well as Road Maps), that  
could be copied (or directly included?) to/by the wiki.

The changes document could be produced via the Jira Release Notes.   
I'm not sure if Jira can produce a Release Notes document per  
component, however, that should be relatively easy to customize.

To sum, I don't think users should be entering issues on a wiki page,  
but I think that it is feasible to do so in Jira.  The reporting  
features should help reduce the pain associated with maintaining  
various CHANGES documents.
