Okay.  I got tired of the constant Misc/NEWS merge conflicts, so I wrote a tool to fix the problem.  It's checked in to Bitbucket here:

https://bitbucket.org/larry/mergenews/

There's a readme, which you'll see rendered on that page.

I don't know what you mean by "attach Misc/NEWS entries to the issue tracker".  I figure, the Misc/NEWS entry is used as the checkin comment, so Roundup Robot already adds it for you, so maybe that's good enough.

Can we maybe switch to this for 3.6?  Should we consider switching all 3.x branches under active development to use this approach?
