In case you're too lazy to go visit the link to my "mergenews" repository and read the readme...

mergenews has three tools:

* splitnews, which splits the existing Misc/NEWS file into hundreds of individual files,
* mergenews, which merges the hundreds of individual files back into a single coherent Misc/NEWS file, and
* pyci, a front-end for "hg ci" which automatically writes out the checkin comment as a new news entry into the right spot so mergenews will see it.

It's all basically working already.  pyci limits you in what command-line options it supports, other than that I think it all does what you want.  Can we use it please?  ;-)
