I think I understand the problem a little better now. It seems that
commits that are cherry-picked from master to a release branch get a
new commit hash... And if my understanding is correct, that would mean
that any attempt to figure out what's new in 9.1 (that didn't slip
into 9.0) is going to be futile.
For example...
$ git log master --not releases/9.0 --not nuttx-9.0.0-RC1 --no-merges > log.txt
That log file contains:

Okay, now let's look at 9.0...

Same log. Different commit hash.
By the way, it seems that we never tagged the final 9.0 release. There
doesn't seem to be a nuttx-9.0.0 tag, only nuttx-9.0.0-RC*.
Anyway, I'll have to continue this later.
