TLDR: Move the changelog, currently called "hotfixes to the stable channel", to the root directory of Flutter/Flutter and rename it to CHANGELOG.md before the Q3 release cutoff.
Background
Flutter has historically kept documentation on wiki pages in the Flutter repository. Recently, we executed a large-scale migration of our wiki into a
docsfolder within flutter/flutter.Proposal
I propose relocating the current changelog, which is called "hotfixes to the stable channel", to the root directory of the Flutter/Flutter repository and renaming it to CHANGELOG.md. This change aims to improve the visibility, accessibility, and consistency of our documentation processes.
Benefits
Timeline
I would like this proposal approved or denied before the Q3 release cutoff so it may be available within the stable branch.
Note
This proposal aims to improve our workflow and documentation standards. I am open to feedback and further discussion on how we can best implement this change.
