   @janl you asked about my process for creating release notes - I wrote it up - maybe this will help you:
   
   -----------
   
   Get a list of things to care about:
   `git show-branch --sha1-name master X.X.X|more`
   * use this to find common ancestor (very last thing in the output)
   * use this to make sure everything on X.X.X has been pulled fwd to master
   * use this to eliminate anything that "looks the same" on X.X.X branch and master
       * cannot use sha-1s because they will be different on each branch
       * research if there is a way to auto-eliminate cherry picked stuff?
   
   For each remaining commit on master:
   1. use GH web UI to find the commit's related PRs or issues and write up
      something nice
   1. sort by GH issue/PR number
   1. any issues that merge without a useful GH/PR number should go either at the
      very top or bottom of the list, depending on importance of issue
   1. do not explicitly list out things like Jenkins/Travis/rebar.config changes
      unless they are significant in some fashion
   
   Now do the same thing as above, but for documentation and fauxton. Pull out only
   the big-ticket items.
