I nominate starseeker getting to put together the quarterly feature spreadsheet 
the next time there's a review ... :D

The script that puts the spreadsheet together (sh/news2tracker.sh) looks at the 
last commit message per *line* .. so they'll all just say "Refine the NEWS file 
items" without any of the commit details.  It's really not a big deal since 
it's in the svn log and can be copy-pasted, but it definitely saves time when 
it's automatic.

Regardless, nice work pulling the release together sans me.  I notice the 
source tarballs went up on the 31st, so perfect iteration timing there.  Are 
announcements already being worked on too, or shall I?

I'll might be compelled to reword those items anyways given my pedantic OCD 
tendency for concise clarity...

Cheers!
Sean
