I stand with strk here :-)

People testing RCs have read the email message announcing the RC, so it
can be there instead.

Also, in the longstandin GNU tradition (which is where NEWS came from)
bug fixes do not generally belong in NEWS, unless the bug is notorious.
It's supposed to be about significant changes, like removed and new
APIs, new user programs, new dependency/compiler requirements, and
things those using the program need to adapt to.
