Release notes are now kept on the Gerrit project homepage:
Rationale for this move is described in [1] but in short: it's now easier to update and publish release notes, and we are publishing in-progress release notes for upcoming releases.
Release notes for 2.12 onwards have been migrated to the new location. Previous releases will be done later, time permitting.
The format/layout is still up for discussion; contributions are welcome if anyone has any ideas for improvements.
