I think the best way to do it is to put it in the repository where the
changes were made (this implies having separate release notes for dmd,
phobos and druntime, I know).

This way is trivial to see if some important change deserves a note in
the release notes and if it does, for the reviewers to reject the pull
request until it has proper release notes.

Having them elsewhere will make the review process very difficult and
lots of changes will still be missing.

As part of the release process, we can merge these notes together and
add them to the website. Even when doing it manually shouldn't be that
time consuming (is only copy&paste), this could also be automated.
