I've applied this, but ... for future reference ...

- As Randy noted, the "thanks" message doesn't belong in the changelog;
I took it out.

- It's not really necessary to list every word you've fixed; "fix some
misspellings" is sufficient. I left those in though :)

- This patch did not apply to docs-next - the bcachefs file you change
only showed up in the mainline yesterday. I pulled docs-next forward
to -rc2 to avoid making you redo it, but it's better not to make
maintainers do that in general. The proper approach, which would have
been needed for a more involved change, would have been to send that
fix to the bcachefs maintainer instead to go through his tree.

Thanks,

jon
