As a reminder, I tried a variant of C for 9.2 beta release notes, and
got lots of complaints, particularly because the line describing the
feature now had many more names on it.
In my opinion, adding reviewer names to each feature item might result
in the removal of all names from features.
A poll is nice for gauging interest, but many people who vote don't
understand the ramifications of what they are voting on.
