Since the gentoo repository no longer has ChangeLog files, the emerge --changelog option should be deprecated. Eventually, the -l short option could re-purposed as a short option of --load-average (same as make).

What is the proposed alternative? Is there a command that can show me the git log of a certain package (preferably only changes between PV x and y)?

For git-log I need the git repository, right? And the default (also used by me) is to use rsync. app-portage/pgo looks interesting and it also appears to support what I want at first glance, except it does not work as expected: https://github.com/arzano/pgo/issues/8 Thanks for the hint, though. I will follow-up with the author about this.
