At another commit I made once (forgot which one)
somebody commented
that I shouldn't have updated the release notes and that this should
only be done by the release manager, because this helps avoid merge

which issues are important enough to be mentioned there.
You *should* update release notes. This statement about having the
release manager do all release notes is incorrect.
I've never heard that "release manager" claim either.
The current "word" on release notes seems to be at
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/CC#Release_notes, which says "All
significant changes to the core software which might affect wiki
users, server administrators, or extension authors, must be documented
in the RELEASE-NOTES file." I've been interpreting that as including
pretty much any bug that was reported by a wiki user.
Indeed. That's always been the case.
