fpm is a package that converts gems to many different forms, and when converting to .deb's,
it wants to get the date of the gem's release from the changelog.
Idea: add a changelog converter to vandamme to help authors conform,
then get the gem upload process to warn if the changelog file is not present or not parseable,
and point them to the converter.
