Couple of strategies I thought for tacking this problem.

1) Documenting the resolution of NEWS specific merge conflict. Observing/recording when those arises and when it was there was no-conflict will be helpful.  This could help us in organizing NEWS file in a manner that less conflicts occur.

2) Automatic generation of NEWS file from commit logs. We can tag commit logs like #NEWS-Lib-2.7, #NEWS-Core-3.4 and NEWS file can be auto generated from the log. This could be interesting, it could also be error prone. That's probably the reason why we (or any other OSS project) has not adopted this method already.
