Description

Description

Salt 3007.x releases result in sections of the CHANGELOG being wiped out for the previous 3007.x release.

As an example, the latest Salt 3007.x changelog is populated (3007.6), but the previous changelog has been wiped out (3007.5).

https://github.com/saltstack/salt/blob/v3007.6/CHANGELOG.md

It also looks like 3007.4 in the changelog is now a duplicate copy of the 3007.6 latest changelog.

Suggested Fix

Not sure what the fix is, but it is happening either during changelog generation or merge forwards.
