Well, if you expect to have to grovel through the CVS logs anyway,
another possibility is to put the info into the CVS commit messages.
Perhaps we could agree on a convention that commits that include
release-note-worthy material should have something like
RELEASE NOTE: descriptive paragraph here
in the commit message. Keep basically the same process, but make it
easier for Bruce to spot the important material.
I think I prefer the file-of-notes idea, but this is a possibility worth
suggesting.
