... because even one edit by anyone else is a merge conflict. And CVS
isn't too good with merge conflicts. Also few of the people whom I'd
want to ask for help are committers -- the release notes are as much
about advocacy as they are about code.

If I can use git, it's quite a bit better. Thing is, if I start a git
branch for this, are we going to be able to merge it back to the main repo?

Of course. I'm mostly on a Mac. It's several minutes every time I make
doc.
