Changes (by warner):

  * keywords:  NEWS => NEWS docs


Comment:

 Let's add a step to the release process, in which we create an HTML
 version of the NEWS file and add it to the source tree (in NEWS.html),
 copy it to the website, and reference it in the release announcement. The
 NEWS.html file should include a note that points to NEWS (the non-html
 form) as the canonical source. After release, we should remove the
 NEWS.html from the tree, or establish a convention that we always update
 NEWS.html in the same commit that touches NEWS.
