I had arrived at the same conclusion and was going to add it as an example to 
the developers guide. The original file is attached now for you.

I think I regret listing GEOT-XXX numbers and descriptions; since they are 
often worded as problems rather then fixes. Still it is fast to do…

Is wording them the other way around much better?

GeoTools 8.2 is a bug fix release, the following fixes are highlighted:

* Histogram operation handling of low, high and numBin parameters
* CustomPaletteBuilder fixed to work with translated BufferedImage
* etc...

Yeah that does not work at all… does not give readers the ability to scan the 
announcement and see if they care.

How about …

Thanks to community members for the following github pull requests:

* Thanks to mbenowit  for fixing ContourProcess
* Davide Savazzi for fixing ContentFeatureCollection isEmpty method, and the 
logging cascaded WMS queries
* Tim Schaub for improving exception messages
* Victor Olaya for reviewing function parameter names
* Peter hopfgartner for setting up Reprojecting feature collection to use a 
wider range of transforms

Cheers,
Jody
