The proposalhttp://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/RELEASE-NOTES_botis for a bot to parse commit message for special "commands" to add some text to specific sections of the release-notes file. When bot detects a master merge, it will pull the latest release-notes, change it, and merge it to master right away, avoiding any conflicts.
If the bot messes up, or if a more complex file edit is needed, we can do it through the regular git/gerrit process.

Well, that's true if you're only building release notes by copy+pasting the first line. If it's scripted, it's trivial to pull the bug # from the footer as well.
And no, commit messages cannot be auto-generated by Gerrit, as that changes the sha1.

I actually prefer bug numbers in the header.
+1, also useful for release notes. Could the footer line be auto-generated for indexing purposes?
Yay for bikeshed topics ;-)
