I’m in favour of having a single place for the What’s New documentation, and the documentation is the right place, so +1 for that.

But I share Ossi’s concern. Knowing how many of those changes happen late in the process, ending up with lots of them causing constant merge conflicts for everyone is going to suck.

So, having a change that everyone can edit using gerrit's web UI is a good proposal. +1 to that as well.
