Nope - not much is covered. We'll have to do a better job for next release.

Crawl through commits and document them. It's tedious work and that's why
we should focus on getting docs and changelog done *as part* of the pull

I don't mind if we release every 7 or 5 months, as long as we don't
postpone the releases (as we already did for 14.11 and 15.05). Having 1
month for stabilization should suffice for most of the time.
