Every link in GeckoView's CHANGELOG.md should have a unique reference (i.e. [link here][reference here]). This is not the case; there are four instances of reused references, resulting in links that contain the wrong target URL.

$ wget https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/raw-file/tip/mobile/android/geckoview/src/main/java/org/mozilla/geckoview/doc-files/CHANGELOG.md
$ grep -oP '^\[[0-9.]+' CHANGELOG.md | sort | uniq -c | sort -n

      2 [67.2
      2 [68.23
      2 [69.2
      2 [69.3

Hmm, removing the additional newlines between each change log entry didn't really improve the readability when looking at the unformatted source file in my opinion...

firefox69=wontfix because we don't need to uplift changelog fixes to Beta.
