There is a somewhat painless approach to generating human-readable release notes using https://github.com/hawkowl/towncrier. As far as the ticket author is concerned, if you think that your ticket #12435 is of wider interest and should be announced then all you'd have to do is add a file
echo "Added the last twin prime" > newsfragments/12435.feature Note that the fragment filename starts with the ticket number, so it won't conflict with other news fragments. Then, when making a new release, I concatenate the fragments into NEWS.rst as, for example, in https://github.com/hawkowl/towncrier/blob/master/NEWS.rst -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
