Thanks Jan, for the encouragement and for the release wizard tool.
All of last week, I was battling several personal emergencies as well as
professional responsibilities. I was so short on time that I cut some
corners (in the following two places), *deliberately*.

1. I checked how often have we sent out a vote results thread in the past,
and it was only a handful of times; hence I skipped it.
2. I had to run the build and publish script at least 4-5 times before the
stars aligned (tests passed, i was ready at the exact moment GPG prompt
appears for password etc). That left me so exhausted that i deferred the
preparation of draft notes for a later moment. Also, after the Moin Moin to
confluence migration, I spent at least 15-20 minutes to figure out how to
create a release notes page at the right place. Manually curating the draft
highlights/notes is the most labour intensive task and I propose some
automation banking on a Jira field.

Since there was no chance for community to weigh in on the notes before it
was released, i apologize for any mistakes in doing so. Here they are:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/LUCENE/ReleaseNote83
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/SOLR/ReleaseNote83

Regards,
Ishan
