A suggestion: rather than trying to maintain a separate IDLE news file ("don't
repeat yourself), it might be much easier to link to the IDLE section in each
releases's formatted CHANGELOG now included in Python 3 docsets. For example:
Terry J. Reedy added the comment:
Separate news items are now consolidated during the release process. But two
issue with copying them. 1. They are not line wrapped, whereas news.txt is.
2. I don't always make (or keep) entries identical.

To minimize news merge headaches, I have been pushing news items separately
from IDLE patches, usually in batches of at least two. It has not been too
much bother to copy from NEWS.txt to NEWS.
If and when news handling is automated, I will request that

Setting #17221 as a dependency. Once that is fixed it would be good to keep
IDLE entries in Misc/NEWS, and copy them in Lib/idlelib/NEWS.txt before the
release.

I put 1 or 2 items in idlelib/NEWS, but it does not really matter which way
they go. I guess the greater separation in Misc/NEWS says they should go there
first, as moving to idlelib would delete reliease info. I will move the one
item over sometime, maybe
Roger Serwy added the comment:
This is related to #17221. I agree that news items need to be consolidated in
both Misc/NEWS and Lib/idlelib/NEWS.txt.

New submission from Terry J. Reedy:
Idle news items should be collected together in one place and released both in
an IDLE section of each Misc/NEWS and in each idlelib/NEWS.txt. Once a decision
is made where to collect them originally, a script should be written to make
appropriate copies.
Ezio Melotti added the comment:
I think it would be better to keep everything in an IDLE section in Misc/NEWS,
and have something/someone extract the section(s) before the release. In
Lib/idlelib/NEWS.txt we probably don't need to have separate sections for
alphas/betas/rcs like we do in
