I think that that's what most of us are agreed upon at this point. What is
currently the WHATSNEW section will continue to be done by hand, but the
LIBBUGSFIXED section will be autogenerated.
WHATSNEW is a list of new features, which are (or should be) in bugzilla as
enhancement requests.
So, if we put a new module through the review process, we're going to go and
create an ehancement request for it after the fact just so that it's in
bugzilla and shows up in the automatically generated changelog? That seems off
to me. Bugzilla is for reporting bugs or requesting that things be added to
the language or library, not for reporting everything that we do. The SCM log
is for that.
It's not all that far-fetched as bugzilla is also a place for
enhancement requests. There's really no reason to fight about this. I
think s/WHATSNEW/release notes/g pretty much draws an isomorphism
between your argument and ours.
