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

[Nick Coghlan]

Nick Coghlan added the comment:

PEP 462 is months away from going anywhere, and I personally find the
current NEWS handling a major barrier to feeling inclined to work on bug
fixes.

The status quo will *definitely* be PEP 462 incompatible, though, since it
would typically prevent applying the same patch to multiple branches.
