What we usually do at some point is to collect a list of user-visible changes and puth them into the release notes. We do that to help users and documenters. If you want to help, then forget about doing this automatically. Instead you could volunteer to track the git repository for user-visible changes that should be documented and prepare a list of these changes. If you'd do that on a regular basis, that would certainly help. This is still the wrong mailing-list for discussing the documentation. If you want to reach the people who are actually writing the docs, then please move this to the gimp-docs list.
