OpenStack happily fixed this issue one or two years ago with "reno": https://pypi.python.org/pypi/reno
reno looks interesting but there is at least one thing I think would need changing for us. Aside: I'm not super psyched about its requiring YAML files for its input. Their structure can be fairly arcane for drive-by contributors, but I suppose with good documentation and a CI gate, we can live with that. I'm also not thrilled with having to learn yet another command line tool to submit changes to Python. The main dissonance for us is I think the sections that reno supports https://docs.openstack.org/developer/reno/usage.html Our release notes have different sections: * Core and Builtins * Extension Modules * Library * Windows * C API * Documentation * Build * Tools/Demos * Tests (others?) I don't know if those are configurable in reno or it would require a fork, but I'd like to preserve that organizational structure. If reno can also help wrap long lines, enforce/encourage bpo-* mentions, and clean up whitespace, then I'm for trying it out. -Barry
