FYI, these days the same text appears in (1) the topic description in "What's cooking"; (2) the merge commit for the topic when it is merged to 'next'; (3) the merge commit for the topic when it is merged to 'master'; (4) Release notes for the 'master' and 'maint', when it is merged. So the best time to catch mistakes and to rephrase it is when you see something questionable in "What's cooking", ideally before it hits 'next', before it hits 'master'.
