Well, you know, these are *draft* release notes.  Feel free to correct
them anywhere you believe they are inaccurate.

I think the bigger issue here is that we don't seem to have consensus
about whether to include reviewers' names.  Bruce evidently thinks
that's a good idea, else he wouldn't have done it, but I only recall one
other person speaking in favor of it.  Everybody else seems to think
that it'll be too verbose.
