[Pkg-mozext-maintainers] Bug#734476: mozilla-devscripts: tool to convert "Version History" pages to changelogs

[Jakub Wilk]

Package: mozilla-devscripts
Version: 0.35
Severity: wishlist

I'd like mozilla-devscripts to include a tool that will download 
"Version History"[0] page of an add-on, and then generate upstream 
changelog from it. I've attached prototype that I used to generate 
upstream changelog for openinbrowser.
