If you want to establish the EVR in changelog entry onvention, you need
    name = h['changelogname']
and then split on the last '>' character, treat remainder as EVR.

Yes, different tag than changelogtext, which should be argv string array.

SInce this is packager convention which not everyone follows (it is/was
recommended practice for RHL), you can expect some goofiness in the values,
rpm cannot, say, check for Epoch: being a numeric since the entire 
convention
is exploiting a weakness in the specfile parser.

I'd put the src.package name in the XM too, using rpm:entry with 
combined N + EVRF,
but other representations are workable too.
