Despite reading all the Cygwin announcement emails assiduously, I'm
occasionally surprised to learn of significant improvements that
weren't mentioned in the announcements.

No one has a perfect memory, so I can easily see how it'd be easy to
overlook mentioning some great new feature, in an announcement.

Can anyone think of a way to make it easier to produce announcement
emails that faithfully reveal all the great work that's gone on?

What about storing a changelog file in cvs for each package, and
encouraging people to update the changelog (say, by altering the
default text that CVS shows you when you commit a change?).

Just thinking out loud ...

luke
