Also, I spent a dreary two or three hours this afternoon examining the CVS commit logs since 8.3 branched...I tried to post that info to pgsql-docs but it broke the list's message size limits (even gzipped, it's about 90K).
I just dumped a copy of Tom's file on my personal page and posted a much slimmed down version that's missing the names of the files touched onto the wiki at http://developer.postgresql.org/index.php/8.3_Changelog (with a pointer to the full text in case anyone needs to dig back into the details to figure out what a commit touched).
There was already an outline for building the release notes into at http://developer.postgresql.org/index.php/8.3release
What I was thinking might be a useful way for multiple people to hack away at this problem is to start fleshing out the standard release note one-line summaries onto the one page, then delete the relevant commits from the other. When the changelog page is empty, then everything is documented.
I didn't actually start doing this though as I didn't want to dump any more time into a process that may not actually be used.
