[issue18967] Find a less conflict prone approach to Misc/NEWS

[Brett Cannon]

Brett Cannon added the comment:

I get the argument against, but from my experience the difference between the opening line of a commit and what goes into Misc/NEWS is negligible at best. All of the commit-specific stuff for me goes "below the fold" after \n\n.

And while the goal is partially to avoid merge conflicts, it's also to avoid writing the same thing essentially twice along with controlling the format of Misc/NEWS.
