   Regarding the changelog file, do we prefer keeping this approach of having 
latest changelog in `CHANGELOG.md` and historical in `CHANGELOG-old.md` or 
would we want them combined? If we combine them then we can use the `--prepend` 
feature to completely automate it, otherwise I think we'd still need a manual 
step to copy existing `CHANGELOG.md` into `CHANGELOG-old.md` before generating 
new `CHANGELOG.md`.
   
   - I noticed there was https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs/pull/1759 for the 
purpose of simplifying release
   
   Though one thing to keep in mind is having a single big `CHANGELOG.md` might 
be slow to open for some people
   
   > Another potential option would be to port the datafusion 
generate-changelog script: 
https://github.com/apache/datafusion/blob/main/dev/release/generate-changelog.py
   
   I think `git-cliff` can achieve almost the same things as this script, with 
the exception of the contributor stats at the end (though we don't do that 
here). It might be possible to get that to work if we want in `git-cliff`.
