I normally link to only the _first_ mention of something, and since they are both in the same section, I didn't add a link for the second one. Adding a second link might suggest that there is more information available, even though the coarseness of our links means that section is the same.
Perhaps the wording would be better as something like:
New <a href=“…”>predefined roles</a> for granting access to read/write all tables have been added, called pg_read_all_data and pg_write_all_data ..?
Or something along those lines?
Just a thought.
Perhaps another idea would be to make one link which includes both names.
