Great.  Basically, try not to worry about releases too much - just do the work as quick as you can, do reviews to speed along the queue in general, and the ever-faster release cadence that Amber has put in place will catch your changes soon enough.

This was a heads-up for Jean-Paul, who has been trying to change this behavior (to make '#' on new commits refer to Github issues / PRs, and 'ticket:' refer to Trac tickets, so we don't get spurious email notifications about old Trac tickets).  You can pretty much ignore it :).
