EGLOT-NEWS mentions many bugfixes, something that we don't do in
NEWS.  The style is also very different:

> +(github#29)
> +
> +** Handle experimental/unknown server methods gracefully.

This doesn't say enough about the change, so why mention it?  And why
the GitHub reference there?

> +** Hierarchical symbols are supported in Imenu.

We don't mention individual contributors in NEWS.  They are mentioned
in AUTHORS instead (and if you want, also in doc/emacs/ack.texi).

> +(github#196)
> +
> +** Completion sorting fixed.

This (and other similar entries) are not very useful, IMNSHO.

Moreover, I don't think I see why mentioning past versions of Eglot
that were never parts of Emacs would be useful to someone.  It might
be okay to have that on ELPA, but I don't see why we'd want this in
Emacs core.

Why not emacs-news-mode?

The Eglot manual is now part of Emacs, not on GitHub.
