I can see other problems with a more distributed approach. We'd lose the ability to edit release notes, which we do on occasion, and pull requests also make it easier to track changes as someone has to approve them.

Why would anyone want to edit or even just approve release notes I wrote about a project I maintain ?

Fix links, typos, markup etc. A lot of that is done by Akira Takahashi.

Multiple times we also had to add to release notes after the release has been shipped. For example, add notes about critical problems and links to patches.

Yes, all of which can be done per project, if Boost would allow release notes to be stored in the project-specific repositories, and rendered from project-specific documentation, rather than all from a single monolithic place.

Is this really the case, and is Boost enforcing this? I believe not: * feel free to not publish release notes that would be visible on boost.org * feel free to publish whatever documentation and release notes to whatever server of your own Please allow me to give you an excerpt from a post of yours, not so long ago (20.05.16, 17:45): """ It is absurd how much ink is wasted on completely meaningless questions such as where build system artifacts should be placed, as those have absolutely no impact on end-users. """ I would be glad if we can stay in-topic. Cheers, Raffi PS: I am also *very* glad that the release process is moving on, despite the recent chaos on the list and organization. I also want to add that the "people" (which certainly can be counted on my single hand) that are structuring Boost with their tools, servers, infrastructure in general are doing a wonderful job.
