Some maintainers are saying to put the Changelog after the "---" so
that it isn't included in the patch description.

One of the reasons for including the Changelog in the patch
description, is to credit people with bug fixes, important rework of
the patch, etc.

Do you have any thoughts on this?

Not sure I have a strong opinion there.  We do have various tags meant to
ensure proper credit; I would lean toward using those when possible rather
than including long change histories that, in the long term, don't help
readers to understand why the patch was applied.

Thanks,
