The work to convert libtiff documentation so it is in Sphinx RST format (and thus producing modern HTML) is great news!

When I was cutting releases, creating and formatting the HTML files for the release notes was the most time consuming part and the biggest impediment. It was the single biggest reason not to produce a new release since the rest of the work is pretty easy. Anything which makes this step easier helps.

I have a script (based on 'sed' but could be converted to Perl or Python) to convert from GNU ChangeLog format to RST format if it will be helpful to the effort.
