Even if people do review the notes, who's to say they'll remember a
change they made months ago?  I think it's important for developers to
prepare at least a rough-draft entry for the release notes at the time
the change is made.  We can debate different ways to keep that info
available until the docs are prepared, but the real problem here is to
not rely on memory.
