Well, I'm not sure if my suggestion is logical, but given that I was
staring at
<https://github.com/tianocore/tianocore.github.io/wiki/EDK-II-Release-Planning>
when I got lost :) , I think it might help if the "current release
planning" page simply featured a link to "past releases".

The latter can be a standalone wiki page or even a section in a larger page.


Considering the sum of the currently available notes, the inconsistency
is that

- for the first tag we had ("edk2-stable201808"), we seem to offer no
notes (that's OK, we had just started back then);

- for the second tag ("edk2-stable201811"), the notes are at:

https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/releases/tag/edk2-stable201811

which was edited... I got no clue where (certainly not in the edk2-wiki);

- and for the upcoming tag, we have the notes at:

https://github.com/tianocore/tianocore.github.io/wiki/EDK-II-Release-Notes#edk2-stable201903-tag

Thanks,
Laszlo
