[Numpy-discussion] New release note strategy after branching 1.17.

[Marten van Kerkwijk]

Overall, in favour of splitting the large files, but I don't like that the
notes stop being under version control (e.g., a follow-up PR slightly
changes things, how does the note gets edited/reverted?).

Has there been any discussion of having, e.g., a directory
`docs/1.17.0-notes/`, and everyone storing their notes as individual files?
(A bit like maildir vs a single inbox file.) At release time, one would
then simply merge/order the files. Beyond staying within git, an advantage
of this may be that automation is easier (e.g., if the file is always
called <issue-number>.rst, then checks for it can be very easily
automated.).
