Unified Changelog/Report for synchronized ROS package releases

@tfoote may have an idea how / whether what you suggest would be something that could be automated (I suspect it would be). I can imagine a new Jenkins job on the ROS buildfarm that takes in info about to be synced / recently synced packages, gathers the changelogs, aggregates them and publishes it somewhere.

The difference is computed here: reprepro-updater/scripts/diff_packages.py at refactor · ros-infrastructure/reprepro-updater · GitHub

If you’d like to extend that script that would be great. Though we do want to be careful about adding runtime dependencies on resources that might not be made available on all deployments of the buildfarm or will cause significant slowdowns.
