Hi all,

Please be kind to your release manager(s), think of the NEWS file...

A pretty big part of the release is to review all commits and prepare a
change log.

By keeping the NEWS file up to date makes life of you release manager(s)
a lot more simple.

Use one line per change, possibly mentioning the corresponding bug
report, like :

- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
4.4.2
=====

* Fix parallel build of xfce4-mixer (Bug #2892)
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------

Also, avoid commit message like:

- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
    Log:
    fix bug #2892
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------

Because it makes think even more hard, since the release manager(s) will
have to review the ChangeLog and then also review the bug... :(


Thanks in advance,
Cheers,
Olivier.
