Suggestion: linkify revnums and issues in the CHANGES file

It seems to me rather poor that readers of our CHANGES file have to manually follow references to revision numbers and issue numbers. Examples:
[[[
  - Server-side bugfixes:
    * svnadmin dump shouldn't canonicalize svn:date (issue #4767)
    * 'svnadmin verify --keep-going --quiet' shows an error summary (r1837790)
]]]

I have shortcuts defined in my browser for going to a revision or an issue by number, but must users don't, so I feel it is pretty unfriendly to them.

As the file format is pretty regular, would anyone care to contemplate post-processing it into HTML with the revision numbers and issue numbers as hyperlinks?

I would suggest keeping the current file format as the original and posting the processed version somewhere. A static link in the original (text file) could point to the canonical URL of the HTML version. Just a trunk version would be sufficient initially, updated at least at every release and preferably more often.
