Unless inclusion of such old changelog entries is intended, they could be stripped off quite easily with something like:
sed -e '/* [a-zA-Z]{3} [a-zA-Z]{3} [0-9]{2} (200[0-2]|199?).*/,99999 d'
Of course, they are more ways to do it (including more complex ways).
How the algorithm currently works is that it looks for the first line in the old changelog, and takes everything before that in the new changelog for the report. So, if the first line for the old changelog isn't in the new changelog at all, you get the whole thing.
...in which case you could still strip off the very old entries (in my example, entries from 2002 and earlier). :o)
