I still want a RELEASE_NOTES flag, but not a "NOTES=I'm repeating what I
just wrote up above."

Writing concise summaries as the first line of a description is good form
that we should encourage for all changes, not just noteworthy changes. Given
a token that says "hey, this is noteworthy or a user visible change", we can
write scripts to pull out the first line of the description for inclusion in
the release notes.

I'll look for a place to document writing good log messages on
dev.chromium.org.
