I think part of the problem was simply that it wasn't clear what
should actually go into the changelog files.
Adding all the fixed issues as part of each pull request is not
feasible because the frequency of merge conflicts with other
pending pull requests would be way too high. Now that we got this
aspect covered, I don't see a reason why having a collaboratively
managed set of release notes wouldn't work – but maybe it would
be better to collect them at the wiki instead of in the
repositories?
