I think we should vote in the Change bug. I don't see advantages to
opening a new ticket.

I think we might want to make it an optional element. If the Change
needs a tracking bug, create it, otherwise not. I think most Changes
don't do any real tracking in bugzilla, except to change the bug as
"done" at some point.


One more thing that I didn't see explicitly mentioned in the proposal
is the fact that Change pages are also documentation, fairly widely
accessed, also long after the Change has been implemented. For this,
the fact that the Change page show no context by default is an advantage.
I wonder if we could request an enhancement to pagure to have a view
where just the main text is shown, without the side bar, comments,
headers, etc.

It'd be great if we could end this practice by having our documentation updated as a part of the change.  Consumers of our software shouldn't need to know to check what will feel like "random" wiki pages to many of them for more docs.

Also, it should be clarified if Change owners should edit the original
text.
