%changelog would have to be stored separately. This would apply even for
the case when no "external" changes were made — just normal updates by
the package managers — since there's no way for pyp2rpm to know what
happened in the past.

Anyway, I think it's a good idea to try to make automatically generated
spec files work, but making this mandatory sound premature. Even in
the future, there's always be packages which need some manual fixup
to whatever pyp2rpm produces.
