However, I suggest that once this is completed we reconsider the
old-news display.
Currently there's http://lilypond.org/old-news.html where all old news
and release announcements are mixed. As noone will usually browse
release announcements that essentially means that old "real" news items
are effectively buried.

May be the release announcements should directly be moved to
http://lilypond.org/attic.html so we have the old news page less
cluttered as well?

I agree: release news should be separate from other news.

Most of release news are just noise (same copy&paste). Not only for readers, also for translators. I never translated news into italian because of this.. and I'm in good company:

$ find Documentation/ -name news*.itexi
Documentation/zh/web/news-front.itexi
Documentation/ca/web/news-front.itexi
Documentation/es/web/news.itexi
Documentation/es/web/news-front.itexi

Turning all those release news into something a bit more useful (other than the release date) would be nice, at least for the next ones.

What about linking to the list of commit messages for a certain release in gitweb?
http://fazigu.org/blog/2011/03/31/gitweb-diffs-between-versions/

The following link should show the commit messages included in 2.19.41 release:
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=lilypond.git;a=log;hp=f650af5;h=87aa275
