Implementing this idea actually allowed me to shave ~10 lines
off the Python script :)

Do you still have concerns not addressed by my replies or
are you okay with me going ahead with this?

As I mentioned earlier, I'd like to avoid having this on
the list for too long: 3.0.0 is not very far away, so it's
about time to get the release notes into shape and I'd prefer
using the new source format right away instead of having to
convert later.
