  Aren't you tackling the wrong end of the problem ? If the release
notes contained the output of git shortlog (regardless of the moves) I'd
never read them.

  The point of a release note is not to be a behemoth mail with all the
details of what happened... That's what the ChangeLog is for (which is
automatically generated). It's an extra burden for the release
maintainer, but having a human-parsed summary of the changes ("Features
of this release") is much better than a machine-generated output.

  Would you like the kernel release notes to have the output of git
short-log in it ?
