Please give a real summary of what has happened, not just a lightly
edited git shortlog list sorted by "is stable cc'd or not".

And even if the end result is that "lightly edited shortlog", then at
least make it more useful and legible to users.

For example, just to look at that first bullet point: why have that
"SunRPC:" thing at all? It adds no value. This is a NFS client merge
message, and the line goes on to say "fixes for the sunrpc client
code".

Same foes for pretty much every single bullet entry - that first one
was not the one that stood out - they all stood out as "

The merge message shouldn't be about some minor details - that's what
the individual commits messages are for.

I did some more light editing to at least make it slightly more
readable, but it's still not exactly great.  Please don't make me do
that. Give me that overview of what happened and what matters. And
it's ok to say "And misc fixes" for things that really doesn't matter
and people who care should just look at the individual commits.
