I don't think adding this needs great effort... We already have
{{{devel/sage/sage/version.py}}}, which looks like this:
{{{
#!python
"""nodoctests"""
version='4.6.alpha1'; date='2010-09-15'
}}}

Maybe it was getting long? It certainly got out of date quickly. It
might be an onus on the release manager to create the notes *before* the
release is made, though
Doesn't have to be under revision control (i.e. could be in
{{{.hgignore}}}); it IMHO shouldn't be too lengthy, perhaps just contain
the most recent changes (e.g. tickets merged since last final, with a
reference to a complete version elsewhere).

the official version at sagemath.org (and a few other places?). The
problem is that this isn't fully automated yet.
I think the release notes as in the announcements are meanwhile fully
automatically generated by a script. I just wonder if these are really
"human"-(means user-)readable, if we intend that.
