Changelogs:
- choose release version and date
- add new sections at top of {doc,hledger*}/CHANGES
- move the items from CHANGES.draft.org to these CHANGES files
- remove CHANGES.draft.org
- `CHANGES.md` in each package directory, and one in the top directory (project-wide changes, perhaps just for staging)
- markdown format: - bullets, indented literal blocks
- there's always a heading at the top whose first word is a release version or (between releases) a commit hash
- `make changelogs` to add any new commits to the top of all changelogs
- then clean those up manually: identify, filter, move to correct changelog, deduplicate, rewrite, sort/group
