Thanks for the PR.

This is something that I was also looking to have intowncrier.

I was thinking to have someting like123.highlight.rst

Thehiglight is a special type that is rendered first and without a heading.

description make me think like this is the only / single description for a release.

Withhighlight you can have multiple highlights for the release.
The highlights can still be associated with an issue.

This can be currently implemented with a custom template... but maybe we can have a good default

Sure,highlight might be a better name.

This PR actually makes the existing default template respect the exsiting all_bullets setting as well, so that's a plus :)
Another small feature it adds is the ability to extend the built-in types with a custom one without having to write them all out (as shown in the docs example).

@adiroiban so at the moment, this just provides individuals to add this highlight section.

Should we just add it as a default since it's kind-of a useful thing and having a standard for it is better than people having to do it themselves?

I think that it makes sense to have this available as default and with associated documentation.

@SmileyChris do you think that you will have time to work on this in the next few days?

I am planning to do a new release... and just wanted to see if I should wait for this PR.

No hurry.

Cheers
