Or maybe, before we keep investing more and more energy and time into
this, just remove all that code, and let people search NEWS manually,
if they want?

We have so little resources -- so why waste them on mini-features
whose importance is at best secondary, and which continue drawing more
and more energy, way beyond their usefulness?  We should instead work
on important features -- like better integration of tree-sitter, for
example.
