I would do that, except that Andrew explicitly reserved the right to change whatsnew.tex. I believe he does go over Misc/NEWS in doing so.

It's actually OK to add things to whatsnew.tex, subject to the warning that:

  1. I will rewrite the text as necessary.

  2. some changes I consider too obscure to bother describing in whatsnew.tex. If such a change is added to the text, I'll just remove it. I would feel bad if someone were to spend a long time writing a paragraph or section, and then I decided to delete the text.

So... add changes as you wish, but please don't work very hard on the text, and writing in note form is fine -- I'll rewrite as needed. You don't need to comment out your added text; we're so far from release I don't care if the formatting is incorrect.

Where should I add a note about this: a comment at the top of whatsnew.tex, maybe?

I do go over Misc/NEWS every so often.
