right now - that changelog entries are immutable. To that end, I have
a really simple draft up here for revision of the guidelines to
explicitly state that.

Firstly, I don't understand which issue your are trying to solve.
Secondly, I am opposed to that change, because besides the issues,
others already mentioned ("mistakes" etc), we once had a discussion on
this topic (IIRC, on @devel, several years ago), which had concluded
into "maintainers are advised to trim changelogs/delete obsolete and
irrelevant changelog entries" to keep changelogs readable.
