commit e521f33e26975a43ea7a60257367a36ac91425a2
Author: G. Branden Robinson <[email protected]>
AuthorDate: Mon Jan 26 23:34:29 2026 -0600
ANNOUNCE: Tweak wording.
A committer and an author are not necessarily the same person, and we're
crediting the latter here, who didn't necessarily "make the commit".
Not all Savannah tickets are "problems" (defects). Many are feature
requests. Capture both kinds with the term "issues".
Give a hint to people whose shells lack brace expansion.

Clarify what sort of "gpg --verify" command we mean when referring to
it a second time.
