We've been talking about addressing this for years. Fixing this was one of the goals of the new workflow. And finally, as of right now, the future is here. Ladies and gentlemen, I present: blurb. https://github.com/python/core-workflow/tree/master/blurb Yes, when you have a single NEWS file that needs to get updated, the process begins to fall apart when you have a pull request type of workflow which results in many merge conflicts to the single NEWS file.

Twisted and Buildbot use towncrier ( https://github.com/hawkowl/towncrier ) which tries to solve the same problem as blurb. The developer needs to commit individual newsfragment files to the tree along with their pull request. At release time, the release engineer runs towncrier which aggregates the individual newsfragments into a single NEWS file. The NEWS file is not checked in, but the release engineer makes it available as part of official release tarballs.
