Enhancement requests may fill most of the bill...
They definitely don't fill all of it though. We need to be able
to put specific
messages in the changelog separate from bugzilla entries.
I really don't see why it's that big a deal that the WHATSNEW
section isn't
automated though. It's the LIBBUGSFIXED section that causes all
the grief, and
that's easily automated.

Personally I think it nicer that things like What's New would be
written out by a human. Instead of just "Enhancement #4713: Add
user-defined annotations", you can give a quick explanation of
what actually was added and a link to get more info about it.
Same for phobos modules and the like.
