Logistically, I prefer doing highlights in a mail verses having a 
committed file.  A Changelog file needs to be committed prior to tagging 
a release and cannot be enhanced after the fact.  The nice bit about an 
email is that folks can respond to it with additional details.

A wiki page (similar to what kernel newbies does) would be nice to 
supplement what's included in the release notes.
