Looking at that page, I don't think it does <em>quite</em> what release-wrangler does: m.p appears to have a bunch of options for maintaining things at other stages than release time, whereas r-w is just a tool to blast through a release; m.p attempts to figure out the bugs that have been fixed from Bugzilla, whereas r-w just trusts that you kept the ChangeLog up to date. I think both scripts have things that they do differently or better, and I wonder whether they're close enough that it would be helpful to collaborate. I'll get in touch with Martyn Russell.
