Using towncrier for managing the CHANGELOG file

[mohamedmostafadawood]

Problem Description

Editing a changelog file doesn't sound too hard, but usually in the end it is not a developer that does this, but GitHub and this go wrong too many times.

To avoid problems like this, the pip project has been using towncrier.

Proposal

Basically, you would create a news/1234.bugfix file or a news/42.feature file. You do not touch CHANGES.rst. At release time, the person doing the release calls towncrier, which handles updating CHANGES.rst and removing the news fragments.
