Well, the Makefile rules (see "release-bump-version") I've added
before releasing 5.10.8 already do the job automatically.  But Lars
didn't seem to have used them for the release of No Gnus v0.5.

Another point is, that we started some discussion about a new version
number policy, but IIRC we didn't come to a final conclusion and/or
nobody stepped forward to put into practice.
