Can I ask if it's possible to "mark" new features/important changes?
I've maintaining http://wiki.kernelnewbies.org/LinuxChanges
for three releases and the amount of changes is so big it takes hours
to extract the relevant changes, adding some special string in the
description field could help to automate this process and make better
changelogs.
It's not only better for me, I also know there're more people ej: man
page maintainers looking at the full changelogs to find out if
something has changed. There're lot of nice things being merged on
each release, but there's not a way to tell people that those features
exist; even kernel developers don't really know what is going on in
other parts of the kernel. A "useful" changelog is one of the few
things the linux kernel has been missing for ages, IMO ;)
