OK, assuming David's in agreement then I think this approach wins with the comma-separated field for commits that the hg hook for Roundup auto-appends to and of course the field to enter the NEWS entry.
Now the next question is how easy/hard is it to implement this, how long will it take, and who is willing to do the work? With this in hand we can propose it to python-committers for 3.6 since the NEWS file should be easy enough to back-fill to this approach while its still small.
Yes I agree this is the best approach, assuming we can get it implemented. The advantage of #4, though, is that Ezio already did the work.
I'm *willing* to do the roundup work, but I don't know as I have the required time, at least for the next month. Part of the trick is the need to get a test instance set up...there was work done at PyCon and after at making a tracker-in-a-box, so I'd need to find out where that was at and learn how to use it (or finish it, if needed). The code itself is probably a half-day job, probably including enhancing the hook to update the commits field. But together with getting a working test instance we're talking a couple days work at least.
Perk of getting the tracker-in-a-box working is it's a one-time cost that will be beneficial long term.
Yes. I just have to find time to get over that initial hump :)
FYI Shiyao (one of the GSoC students) has been working on https://bitbucket.org/introom/docker-b.p.o/src .
And this will help, I hope! --David
