Hi, The `NEWS' parsing routine in `announce-gen' seems to be over-specified in that it expects lines introducing a new version to match "\* (?:Noteworthy|Major) change". AFAICS, this is not too common practice among GNU packages: GnuTLS uses "* Version X.Y.Z (released YYYY-MM-DD)", Guile uses "Changes in X.Y.Z (since X.Y.(Z-1)):", lightning uses "NEWS FROM VERSION X.Y TO X.(Y+1)", etc.
It'd be nice to either allow a regexp to be passed on the command-line or to update the "NEWS File" section of the GCS to recommend a specific format. Besides, the "Subject" line of the announcement could be made more human-readable by using the real package name rather than its system name, e.g., "GNU Hello X.Y released" instead of "hello-X.Y released". (End of gratuitous nitpicking. ;-)) Thanks, Ludovic.
