Also, would be nice for Pkg.update() to return change logs for updated
packages. This might be tricky given the usual markdown format, but
shouldn't be impossible

I really wish we could have a mechanism, where Pkg.publish() prompts you
for a NEWS update, appends it to NEWS.md, and then also submits it as part
of the PR - so that when merging in METADATA.jl, one can see what new
features or fixes come as part of that particular package update.

Is there a standard method for declaring a package's changes in a package
NEWS file? Couldn't find anything in Julia docs. I think some packages use
a NEWS.md file at the top level (e.g. DataFrames, Gadfly, Distributions),
but others do not (e.g. Dates, Optim).
