Unfortunately, the best way I can think of is that you write it yourself by looking at the log; I do not think there is any selarate release notes written by anybody.

$ git log -1 --oneline --first-parent master -- gitk-git

will show that 09bb4eb (Merge git://ozlabs.org/~paulus/gitk, 2011-12-16) was the last merge, so

$ git log -p 09bb4eb^2 $ git shortlog 09bb4eb^2

would be the "raw" data source to study.
