[QGIS-Developer] Getting changelog ready for 3.14

Hi

@Nyall - I remember once you proposed a set of guidelines for the way that changelog entries should be written - can you possibly dig up your list again - I will add it in the changelog site.

@Frank and others reviewing entries - I would like to remove developer technical jargon from the entries if possible - e.g. “This PR” and similar references to PRs and git workflows which will probably be meaningless to most users.

Regards

Tim
