[python-committers] Misc/NEWS entries added to released versions

While looking at the diffs between the 261 release tags and the 26 branch, I noticed many items in Misc/NEWS appearing in the 2.6.1 or even 2.6 sections. I moved all of these to 2.6.2, after checking some of them, and found all of the checked ones be backported after the 2.6.1 release. Is there anything what could be done to avoid these wrong merges?

I plan to check the items on the 3.0 branch soon.
