Did we de facto choose not choose to use CHANGES.txt? I sort of like 
taking a look in there every time I update my Lucene trunk.

Re: CHANGES.txt vs. JIRA

I think it would be much better for Jira to publish it.  The "how to submit"
page says that it should come in on the patch, but that means the comments
are quadrupplicated (once in Changes.txt in the patch, once on the patch,
once on Jira with the patch and once on the SVN check-in).  Surely
duplicated is enough (on Jira when uploading the patch and once on SVN when
the patch is committed).
