Isn't it too verbose?  I thought we were moving away with mentioning
every single change?  A single entry to mention psql autocomplete
improvements should be OK ...

I added both because they were actually different autocomplete features
but otherwise sure.. It could be:

<listitem>
        <para>
         Added multiple aut-complete paths to psql including FULL
TEXT and ENABLE/DISABLE REPLICA
         (Stefan)
       </para>
      </listitem>

AFAIR, past practice is that autocompletion fixes don't make the
release notes at all.

It might be worth reminding folks that the release notes do not
exist for the purpose of mentioning contributors.

 From what I can tell, he has done quite a few of them which is why I 
submitted the patch. *shrug*

Then why do we mention them at all in the release notes?

Sincerely,

You've got the motivation backwards.  We mention the responsible
(blameworthy?) persons when describing a change that users might
find interesting.  We don't insert release-note entries that users
wouldn't find interesting, just for the purpose of mentioning who
did it.  Which seemed to me to be mostly the point of your proposed
addition.

You are correct that would be why I submitted it. My motivation may have 
been backward based on the above definition but I assure you when people 
are looking at the release notes they are not looking to see who is 
responsible in the sense you are mentioning. Most are looking for 
recognition. I would never have considered your reasoning above.

When someone puts a concerted effort to provide a better user experience 
for our number one used client (psql) and they aren't mentioned in the 
release notes, that to me would be an oversight worth adjustment.

Of course that assumes we are on the same page for what the mention in 
the release notes is for, which we aren't :).

Sincerely,

Joshua D. Drake
