There is a list of ignored sections.  Just try that patch:

Index: xml2texi.scm
===================================================================
RCS file: /usr/local/cvsroot/gnus/texi/xml2texi.scm,v
retrieving revision 7.2
diff -r7.2 xml2texi.scm

The section with the title "Changes" will be excluded from the Texi
