The automatically generated release notes don't filter out issues marked as Won't Do, Won't Fix, Duplicate, etc..
There is a tutorial here:
https://developer.atlassian.com/jiradev/jira-platform/jira-architecture/jira-templates-and-jsps/creating-a-custom-release-notes-template-containing-release-comments
Not sure where to actually put the config files. Are we even using JIRA Server like the tutorial requires? I'll probably need to talk to about this.
Let's do this during the processing of releasing 1.8.2
I actually like to go over all issues. Even with issues that are closed as Fixed, not all are relevant to users.
