After merging a docs patch forward from 3.4 to 3.5 and hence to
default, I do have a related request for you or David, though: would
one of you have time to review the currently proposed options and
decide what we're going to do about autogenerating Misc/NEWS?

The status quo is already broken for Larry's "separate repo" approach
to release candidate preparation, and moving to a fully online review
workflow is going to make it broken in general. I suspect a moderately
unilateral "we are going to switch to generating Misc/NEWS <this way>"
from one of you is about the only way we're going to get over the
activation barrier.

Cheers,
Nick.
