My thought was to a) enhance the release plugin to invoked the changes plugin and then commit the release notes before tagging and then remove then after b) enhance the changes plugin to have goals to commit and delete the release notes. or c) create a new plugin to do this.
I'm already able to use the changes plugin to create the release notes and get them in the binary distribution. That isn't particularly hard. The problem is with the source distribution where what is in the zip really also needs to be in svn under the release tag. My preference would be option a but I haven't really started playing with the code yet. I probably won't accomplish much this week as I'm visiting relatives.
