The release notes are generated from this file:

https://github.com/boostorg/website/blob/master/feed/history/boost_1_66_0.qbk

You can create a PR adding the release notes you want to publish. You 
can see release notes for previous releases for examples. The libraries 
are listed in alphabetical order.

Typically, you only have to write release notes for the libraries you 
maintain. Usually, we publish release notes sometime close to a Boost 
release, when there is announcement on this list. But, if the release 
notes file is created, you can do it earlier.

Also, if this workflow is inconvenient, you can send the release notes 
to Daniel James in plain text and he will add them. (Many thanks to 
Daniel for maintaining the release notes and the website, BTW.)
