Feature Request/Idea: Auto populate NuSpec "releaseNotes" with Work Items for the build

description

When a TFS build kicks off, it can have a list of associated work items for that build, which can essentially be your "release notes", because it shows which tasks were closed that relate to the code checked in for that release.
 
It would be awesome if there was a nice easy way to say "When the build runs, spit out a summary of the work items into the "releaseNotes" node of the NuSpec file".
 
How could that be done? Could that be a feature of this library or does it need to be done externally?

Certainly with a list of work items you could (should be able to) fairly easily extract the title and description to autogenerate a list of release notes and then populate the nuspec with a paragraph. Looking into this...
