I have plans but don't know when I'll get them done.

I would like to include the actual changeset details along with diffs 
(ie. including changeset tags and bounding box info) rather than just 
the changeset ids and this will take a fair amount of work.  It requires 
the addition of a new entity type to the osmosis pipeline and this 
involves updating many tasks to support it.

However, including just the changeset id sounds much simpler and will 
take less time.  I'll add it as another enhancement request in trac.  I 
doubt if it will happen in the next week but hopefully it won't be too 
far away.  Patches welcome.
