leif suggested at #9433 that we add a file to SAGE_ROOT containing release
notes
Perhaps the release notes could be produced using mvngu's
[http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/mvngu/apps/rnotes/ rnotes script]
(also available at [http://bitbucket.org/mvngu/rnotes/]. We could in fact
(with his permission) include that script with Sage, and then run it as
part of the sage-sdist script. It might be better to not automate its
creation, though.
