Ok, then I'll submit changes to this file later on. Should I also 
include a short description of the bugs that have been fixed, or is it 
enough to point to their bugtracker id?

I think that a manually maintained changelog is fine - in fact that's 
what I'm used to, and it gives you better ways to document things that 
need a closer description.

I'll also submit CVS changes along with a short description, which gives 
a better overview in the CVS tree I think.
