+1 from me.

Would it make sense to add a recomended NEWS(.md) file format style
guide to the gnulib manual?  I think there is quite some standardized
patterns going on here re the release version/date line.  The same
section could suggest a markdown style to use, so we get some
consistency across packages.  For libraries we can suggest the API/ABI
changes section that are in common use.

Btw, I made README a symlink to README.md in several packages, and it
seems to work fine.  I'm hoping NEWS can be a symlink to NEWS.md, or
maybe even that I don't need a symlink at all and renaming NEWS to
NEWS.md (and make markup changes) will work?
