The advantage of having one person do it (and do it over a short period
of time) is that you end up with a fairly uniform "voice" across the
whole set of notes. Since we lack a professional copy editor, we'd have
a hard time coming out with something that wasn't pretty obviously a
patchwork if several people did bits of it.
In any case, the release notes aren't normally a bottleneck. I still
think that Bruce had his priorities out of whack in not cleaning up
his open-items list before doing this. If he had done so, nobody
would have noticed how long the notes took.
