I can think of several reasons, here are a few: 1) Not everyone has a web page 2) Just because you have a web page doesn't mean that the email address will be easy to find, if it is there at all. 3) You might want to send the person who made the change an email while being offline (and putting the mail in a queue). Since the address is on an web page you cannot check what the address it, thus you cannot write the email. 4) ChangeLog's are not peronal adds. In short, if you want to know personal details about someone, use google.
