Great idea. What's the protocol the project wants here? It seems to me that
we'd want a world where either the original committer or folks shepherding
the release notes out the door when the time comes could commit entries to
the file. We should encourage the OC to do it, but have the culture that we
can be relaxed about others doing it too so we have low friction around
this file.
