Hello everyone,

The quoted part is an automated message that GNU ELPA produces.  I want
to check how it does it and whether we can have some control over it
(e.g. its length).

Full release notes here:
<https://protesilaos.com/codelog/2022-09-30-denote-1-0-0/>.

All the best,
Protesilaos (or simply "Prot")

See the `elpa-admin.el` code in the `elpa-admin` branch of `elpa.git`:

    https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs/elpa.git/tree/elpa-admin.el?h=elpa-admin

the relevant piece of code is in the function `elpaa--release-email`.

This part is more specifically in `elpaa--get-NEWS` where we truncate to
about 4kB.
