Right, but those are not very human-readable nor is there any attempt to
make them machine-parseable (for displaying diffs from nixos-rebuild and
tests).

So I think it would be nice if we had CHANGELOG.md in the project root and
the release notes section of the manual gets built from that automatically.
That's also a more visible place for them, raising awareness amongst users
and devs alike, win-win.
