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. Stefan -- ...ich hab' noch einen Koffer in Berlin...
