Thank you both for catching these!

I have redone the Docker images which ought to now be available at:
* https://hub.docker.com/r/apache/kafka
* https://hub.docker.com/r/apache/kafka-native

I was under the impression that the Release Notes are auto-generated from
the JIRA tags, but I will do one more pass to see what could have caused
what you linked to not be included.

Thanks once again!

Best,
Christo
