We did do that (not very rigorously) during the 7.4 release cycle.
I'm not sure why we fell out of the habit again for 8.0. It seems
like a reasonable idea to me. I don't think I'd necessarily do it
exactly the way it was done before though --- rather than keep the
info in release.sgml, which is big and hard to edit already, maybe
a separate plain-text file would be easier to work with.
