Template doesn't match Getting Started #6

The example change log shown on the Getting Started page differs quite a lot from the log generated for me today.

Getting Started:

com.github.yourusername.yourrepositoryname (0.1) bionic; urgency=medium

  * Initial Release.

 -- Your Name <you@emailaddress.com>  Friday, 20 Apr 2018 04:53:39 -0500

My output:

com.github.yourusername.yourrepositoryname (0.1ubuntu1) UNRELEASED; urgency=low

  [ Cody Garver ]
  * Initial Release.

  [ Hans Cronau ]
  *

I'm not sure what @codygarver and myself are doing there. :P I'm also curious about the difference between (0.1) bionic and (0.1ubuntu1) UNRELEASED.

I seem to have identified the issue. The template file has credentials of @codygarver at the bottom. When I run dch -i it concludes that I am not Cody and decides this must be a multi-author project. This is why it adds both our names in brackets above our respective changes.

I have found that removing the bottom line from the template changelog solves this. Created a pull request: https://github.com/elementary/debian-template/pull/7
