* Fix a singular/plural error in 9.6.
Thanks to Didier Raboud for pointing out the problem.
* Improve release process documentation in README.md.
* Policy changes process:
- Deprecate usage of the 'issue' usertag
It is usually very clear whether an issue is a policy matter, so bugs
can be simply closed, or moved to the 'discussion' phase.
In the rare case that it's not clear whether the bug is a policy matter,
it can remain unclassified, or be tagged 'moreinfo' (see below).
- Add policy-specific usage for the 'moreinfo' tag.
* tools/policy-bug-report:
- Enhance to fetch bugs that have a given usertag or combination of
usertags
- Improve the lists of bugs generated, for posting to Planet Debian.
* Add convention to upgrading checklist for indicating that a policy
requirement is covered by Lintian.
