adding a news entry via the web interface
Howdy! So I have an issue [1] that looks good but is missing the news entry. Is there any way to add that directly via the web interface? -- ~Ethan~ [1] https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/4288
Not yet, I was thinking of implementing it, as I wanted this feature too. But wasn't sure if others will also find it useful, so I haven't put a lot of effort into it. My idea is a web interface where we can supply the GitHub PR number, bpo number, and the desired news entry, and have that magically added to the PR via a button click. The web ui should allow any core devs to add the news entry to any PRs. Other contributors should only be able to add to their own PR.

And MISC/Acks as well. Maybe WHATSNEW? Just in case you were bored. ;) -- ~Ethan~

ACKS: https://github.com/python/core-workflow/issues/7 As for What's New, I at one point suggested flagging all PRs that lack a What's New and making that something you had to flag as a "skip", but people seemed fine to keep that file up-to-date at the end of the release. Maybe once 3.7 gets closer we can bring it up again as the pain will be fresher. ;)
