For one item, I could do it myself. But generally speaking, it helps me if the committer also adds an entry in the GDB release wiki page: https://sourceware.org/gdb/wiki/GDB_7.6_Release You'll need a PR first, and then a reference to that PR in the wiki page. I know it's a bit of a pain, but it saves me a ton of time during the minor releases, because I can just copy/paste the page and put it in the announcement. Before we started doing that, I was going through the entire list of commits, trying to write a small description of the effect of each commit. Some times, I wasn't quite sure whether my description was completely accurate... With this system, it's fast for me, and accurate for the users. The good news is, once we have the entry, I think I can produce the release Mon or Tue. Thank you, -- Joel
