Does it make sense(Is it enough to filter the changes to only include
changes from the last 6 months or so (if there are newer changes;-)?

People probably don't care if they didn't touch it for ages anyway.

Or ignore changes which touch only a few lines completely (to not
include typo fixes or trivial fixups)?

Kind regards,
