The text in etc/TODO, etc/NEWS seems to be inconsistently formatted.
Sometimes a line starting with "^\*+ " is a one-liner heading,
sometimes it is the start of a paragraph.
Sometimes there is a blank line between a heading and the first
paragraph, sometimes there is not.
Both these problems make these files not easily readable.
I suggest rewriting these files with two minimal enhancements:
- use one-liner only for lines headings
- use a blank line when there is a paragraph after a heading.

I fixed etc/TODO on the emacs-27 branch. As for etc/NEWS, we usually
fix it shortly before the release, so please look at NEWS on the
emacs-27 branch, and if you see problems there, please point them out.
Thanks.

Thanks a lot! etc/TODO can be read with org-mode and that's a nice
improvement to me.

I have seen some problems, like sentences that start as the headline
and continue as the paragraph below.
Shall I fix these in emacs-27 directly?
Also, I don't really understand the use (and need) for the +++/---
convention.
The file says:
Temporary note:
+++ indicates that all relevant manuals in doc/ have been updated.
--- means no change in the manuals is needed.
When you add a new item, use the appropriate mark if you are sure it
applies, and please also update docstrings as needed.
So, +++ both mean that no action is needed, either because the manuals
have been updated already or because they don't need any update. If
this is meant as a call to action for Emacs maintainers, what is it
(since both say that things are okay)? If this is meant to the users,
what info is conveyed here? What means "Temporary note": is it
because --- and +++ are removed right before the release?
What about getting rid of --- and +++ in these files and moving the
message is conveys (about the need for an update of the manuals) in
the etc/TODO file, or in a dedicated etc/PRERELEASE file?

Yes, please.

It's the entries that don't have any markers that are noteworthy.
These markers are a reminder for when Emacs is released: "Someone"
should go through the entries which have neither "+++" not "---"
marker, and decide whether any manuals need to be updated due to that
change. These markers are removed as part of preparing the release
tarball, so they never appear in a released Emacs

That'd be inconvenient: the person who does the job of updating the
documentation, usually yours truly, will have to look at two files
instead of just one.
Why are those markers a problem?

Itʼs supposed to be a signal from the person who made the change to
the Emacs maintainers. Lack of both +++ and --- means 'I didnʼt
check', and theyʼre removed just before release.

Itʼs a temporary note, I think itʼs important that the message it
conveys be in NEWS where the changes are made rather than in a
separate file (and PRERELEASE doesnʼt work, since these annotations
need to be done as changes are committed, not a year later just before
release).
