That's fairly easy to automate. You can either:

1. Generate a file from all commit logs and then manually filter out 
what's irrelevant (do this only once before a release).
2. Include a special tag in the commit log to indicate that its relevant 
for a news entry and only include these (again only once before release).

Both can help avoid missing entries, but I think 1st is less error prone.
