I think if you are committing a patch, you should have a clear idea of
what the patch does and what its broader impact on the system will be.
Summarizing that information in a release note entry is not too much of
an additional burden, I think: a committer *ought* to include some
similar text in the CVS commit log message anyway.

Well, it would clearly not be on every commit: most commits don't
warrant a mention in the release notes. If committers think that this
burden is too much to bear, please speak up.
