Yes, and I like that feature somehow. Is there any mean on GitHub to
populate release notes automatically from the issues and PRs that have
been merged on master between 2 tags?

Trac has been used and (still is) as a wiki and ticket tracking system.

A wiki needs maintenance, this page you are pointing is outdated and not
maintained, better removing it.

All in all, if we remove the ticketing system from trac making it read
only, there is no point providing a wiki like system as well, especially
if this one is not being maintained.

Relevant information for development and use of boost should go to the
boost.org website, or to the boost superproject wiki on github (which
has been partially done).
