I have one suggestion on this item:

<listitem>
<para>
Allow logical replication subscribers to process only changes that
have no origin (Vignesh C, Amit Kapila)
</para>

<para>
This can be used to avoid replication loops.
</para>
</listitem>

I think it's better to mention the new 'origin' option as other new
subscription options are mentioned. For example,

<para>
This can be used to avoid replication loops. This can be controlled by
the subscription "origin" option.
</para>
