I just dumped a copy of Tom's file on my personal page and posted a much
slimmed down version that's missing the names of the files touched onto
the wiki at http://developer.postgresql.org/index.php/8.3_Changelog (with
a pointer to the full text in case anyone needs to dig back into the
details to figure out what a commit touched).
There was already an outline for building the release notes into at
http://developer.postgresql.org/index.php/8.3release
What I was thinking might be a useful way for multiple people to hack away
at this problem is to start fleshing out the standard release note
one-line summaries onto the one page, then delete the relevant commits
from the other. When the changelog page is empty, then everything is
documented.
I didn't actually start doing this though as I didn't want to dump any
more time into a process that may not actually be used.
