It may come in handy to automatically build NEWS.txt from the ChangeLog by

Let's come back on this in a few weeks and make a voting if we should keep
it that way, or revert it.

Keep in mind that there is already the "!!!" prefix which is mostly used to
identify parts that require manual interaction by a user (stuff breaking
compatibility)...
