If you go to the SourceForge project page, at the bottom right is a link
"Submit News". This takes you to a simple form where news can be
submitted.

A direct link to this page is:
https://sourceforge.net/news/submit.php?group_id=36391

Unfortunately, existing news articles can't be edited.
Perhaps we should give up trying to use the sourceforge news system, and
my silly bit of PHP, and just put news on the webpage directly.

I won't be offended if you decide to do that. ;-)

Ah: that will be because their timestamps have been modified, and CVS
can only check that nothing has been changed in them by transferring the
whole file.

If you do a "cvs update", the timestamps recorded by CVS should be
updated and you shouldn't seem them in future commits (unless their
timestamps are being touched again)

I make a habit of doing a cvs update just before every cvs commit: there
are various things like this which get fixed.

What may be happening is that you're regenerating porter/diffs.txt from
time to time, and although this doesn't change it, it updates the
timestamp. A proper build system might well help here... (I still
intend to get round to building that at some point soon.)
