If it helps, I'm attaching a copy of what I used to announce the release
to the Debian bug tracking system.

Yes--I dithered over that.  The release per se is the "news" item and
should be the "lede" in journalistic parlance, but for the reader who
doesn't know what "groff" is, such a lede is not enlightening.

Very nice!  I sent a friend of mine a bottle of Armagnac when he got his
Ph.D.-- but I've still never had any!  But I don't sip cognac often--I
like it, but it's pretty sweet.  20 years ago, 2 fellow Debian
developers, of whom Colin Watson was one, introduced me to the joys of
single-malt Scotch...

Best regards,
