Oops, I didn't check what list this is on :(

Ah, it's not about my patches, it's about cases when change in code of Coin 
(which is not open-source) is needed, e.g. changes related to provisioning 
process, or changes like what was done for QTQAINFRA-1492. Not a high-prority 
item, sure. Maybe it can be done differently, e.g. by showing Coin tag/commit 
number on generated web pages, and placing release notes somewhere in public 
access.
