Thanks for the suggestion. It would make sense, but has the drawback
that it makes a file grow a bit too much for my personal taste.  Do you
know if elpa-admin.el can pick up etc/EGLOT-NEWS?  If not, I think I'll
go with Emacs's etc/NEWS, which is the most visible anyway.  Maybe one
day there will be way for elpa-admin.el to pick up the Eglot-relevant
section there.
