You'll need to create a new NEWS entry file rather than adding this to an existing one. Use blurb-it or blurb.

Please add a comment explaining why and when this is needed.

The original author hasn't picked this up again since my comments 1.5 years ago. I think we can consider them no longer interested.

Is anyone else interested in bringing this to completion? @jimboyeah?
