  * 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.

    output.
