It's basically a fineer-grained version of changes.texi, right? So
basically we could write CHANGELOG.org and summarize that in
changes.texi before a tarball release.
Well, but then the changes in the manual would be incomplete in the ELPA
releases. So we might as well start documenting changes
micro-version-wise in changes.texi and then use the generated CHANGES
text file for ELPA¹. That would omit duplication.

¹ This assumes that we start to do ELPA releases from the master branch
where our normal build procedure is performed to produce the ELPA
release tarball. I haven't had the time to bring that topic up in a
separate thread but will do so ASAP.
