I think we clearly need to do something about Misc/NEWS but this issue is already under discussion in the core-workflow working group and I think we shouldn't be moving it to python-dev until there is a final concrete proposal. I know it is high on Brett's list but I believe he's taking a few days of holiday right so he may not be able to respond immediately. Let's move this discussion over to the core-workflow mailing list. It can wait a few days.

Ned is right that I was on holiday for the past week and am slowly digging myself out from underneath my pile of email.
Ned is also right that I view the Misc/NEWS issue the most important thing to solve next for our workflow as we have been putting up with merge conflicts on this file for long enough.
