That is a useful general guide, but the recent discussion was concerning 
labelling commits specifically for making it easier to decide which ones 
should be part of release news. I don't know if these guidelines are 
enough for that, or whether we should decide on specific tags (either 
github tags or [XYZ] tags in the commit message. Maybe MarkusN can give 
us his opinion as he has the experience of extracting the info.
