It will allow me (or anybody other) quickly figure out the duplication
and I can just leave info about the latest version of the dependency;
and remove the others as I did in announcement
http://struts.apache.org/announce.html#a20170717

To sum up: only the latest version of a dependency will be listed in
the version notes

but in this case (if the vulnerability can have large impact) we are
preparing a fast track release (e.g. 2.5.10.1) - in this case the list
of changes is none or very minimal

I do not really grasp what you mean by that

Yes and this additional issue type should allow easily identify such
duplications when assembling a version notes - all the changes in
dependencies will be listed in a one place :)
