I don't see any evidence that holding the trunk hostage is making anyone
work on documentation who normally doesn't.
The remaining NEWS items are not easy to document.
It would be better to take time and do it right rather than try to rush
them.

I think that in future there needs to be more of a culture of people at
least trying to document their own changes, around the time they make
them. The NEWS file seems to encourage people to leave it for someone
else to do, some other time.

Some people said they want more frequent releases.
Well, you can't have that unless more people start doing some of the
less-interesting work that goes along with releases.
