That would depend on the format, I think.  A browser for HTML docs, evince
for PDF, or Yelp for DocBook/Mallard.

The release notes, like most of the docs written the Docs team, are already
written in DocBook, which Yelp handles just fine.  The docs team can also
easily convert them to PDF, HTML (multi-page), HTML (single-page), and even
Markdown (with the latest release of the Publican tool).  In short, I don't
think conversion is a problem here -- we simply need to agree on  what
format(s) we want, and figure out the new workflow.
