This would have all been good info to put in the update request. What I
see is a update request to go straight to stable, bypassing
updates-testing all together, and no information for users about what
they're going to consume.
Currently, the Notes section in New Update page of Bodhi has this
comment: "Some
optional details about this update that will appear in the notice". And
there is nothing
about this section of Bodhi in the UpdatingPackageHowTo.
Personally, what I get is that it is good to put some useful info in the
Notes: section, but
if you don't put anything, it is still OK.
But recently I found that this section is a little more important. I
think there should be
a little more info about it, and some examples of when these comments
are useful.
Good luck,
Hedayat
