I'm really glad you volunteered, since you have *amazing* attention to detail. You can upload release notes to a trac ticket -- there should be one such ticket for each release. The format of the release notes is just what it has been -- and to figure out what goes in there you just have to use trac to figure out what tickets were closed for a given release, and who was involved (both patch authors and reviewers). And Michael Abshoff can answer any question you might have.
