Comment (by mercime):

 Attached patch is first pass at the changelogs for the Twenty Fifteen and
 Twenty Fourteen themes. Please disregard the ticket numbers I added as I
 originally prepared for the codex edition.

 I would like to propose the following:
 - Create a Codex Page listing all the Twenty-* themes - with a short
 description and links to the individual pages of each theme as well as the
 changelog pages of each theme.
 - Each theme's new Codex page will show information about the theme
 including customization like the Codex page of Twenty Fourteen. Under
 that, add a table/list similar to  https://wordpress.org/download/release-
 archive/ which contains contain release dates, link to the themes'
 download pages, plus links to the changelog page/s, etc. I already
 researched and compiled the release dates of each theme.
 - Each theme's changelog page will contain the logs like in attached patch
 and can be verbose in addition to the links to the trac tickets to show
 them the actual changes.
 - Since there's changelog page in the Codex for respective themes, instead
 of adding a CHANGELOG.txt files for each of the themes, we add the links
 to the Codex changelog pages in the respective readme.txt files e.g.
 https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress/changelog/

 Having said that, if the preference is to add CHANGELOG.txt as well in
 respective theme folders, no problem.
