Good idea Rob. I think these 2 ideas are orthogonal. So I suggest
these 2 additions to Jira:
1. an incompatible checkbox
2. a release note text box
For an incompatible change, the submitter sets the field if the patch
is an incompatible change w/ the last major release. The committer
and submitter may need to discuss whether or not to set the
incompatible flag once the actual "Fix Version" field is set.
Guidance on what constitutes an incompatible change should be
published on wiki.
For release notes, the submitter should fill in release notable
information (if any) for the patch. An automated process can then
put all the release notes into a file when a release is rolled.
Guidance on what is release notable should be published on wiki.
Thoughts?

More helpful might be a “requires release note” flag. And perhaps a
convenient way to attach the release note itself.

Can we add an incompatible checkbox in Jira? I think this would be
