Most changesets seem to summerise what they did not why they did it,
the only why that you could get from a changeset is from any source
tags as someone else pointed out, however there seems to be a distinct
lack of emphasis on sourcing data properly, which this would be much
more useful to help people decide if they should touch up the data or
not.
