CC @tstellar @tru for help answering this but I think it might be this file? 
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/main/clang/docs/ReleaseNotesTemplate.txt

I think the changes here are a bit... awkward. These release notes are meant to 
be read by users and downstreams as much as by other developers, even while 
under active development. So the text is kind of out of place for those folks. 
Also, my experience has been that folks tend not to read the existing text in 
the file anyway, so they're just as likely to miss this new text as they are to 
miss the headings (particularly as the release notes get longer and so that 
text may be scrolled off screen for them).

Another approach to solve this problem would be to remove the subcategories 
under the static analyzer heading so it's just a general list of changes to the 
static analyzer. Or to spread the static analyzer changes out among the other 
categories. WDYT about a reorganization of some kind instead of adding text 
like that?
