The test release notes tend to highlight what we require feedback on to 
get a better final release out of the door.  Fstack protector is mostly 
transparent to end users like how all security features should be but 
going forward we will take care to mention such features in the 
announcements. It would be good to get such reminders *before* the release.

I have heard that too many times and that excuse is basically 
unacceptable to me. I am not a native speaker either. I contribute and 
let peer review and other editors polish it if necessary. If you can 
contribute the raw content, editors can take care of the rest including 
grammar. The only requirement you need is interest and I see you already 
have it ;-)
