Maybe there could be a little script to dump the milestone comments into a form suitable for mail? For Bazaar we now (eg http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/bzr.1.9/en/release-notes/NEWS.html) have a summary paragraph for the release plus a detailed summary. Maybe that would work for Launchpad. I do think the summary that works in a NEWS file can be quite different to what's in a bug description, and it is more useful to people who want to see what's changed. On the other hand I don't envy Matthew needing to produce this every month. Maybe you should, as we do, have developers add to the file, and then Matthew could just edit the existing text. -- Martin <http://launchpad.net/~mbp/>
