It's the release manager's responsibility to update the version number 
in Misc/NEWS.  As I finish up 3.5.0a3, I will be changing it to say 
"What's New in Python 3.5.0 alpha 4?".  And I will change the release 
number in patchlevel.h to say "3.5.0a3+".  I don't know why it is this 
way, but that's the way it is, and I assume there's a good reason for it.

Since you don't have the 3.5.0a3 changes yet, no, it's not correct for 
you to put "alpha 4" into Misc/NEWS.  Doing so would trip me up a little.

The release process is mostly automated, although there are manual steps 
where the RM is guided through the process.  Fixing up the heading in 
Misc/NEWS is one such manual step.  FWIW, I have in the past bungled a 
release so badly that I missed making this change.  I was happy to 
discover someone else had fixed it for me.  So I'm not saying "nobody 
but the RM should ever touch it".  But maybe you should wait a day or 
two after the release comes out before you start up your text editor.

Cheers,
