I think trying to add text to each item is both redundant and confusing,
because I am guessing that many people will not even know what a commit
is, and will be confused by clicking on the link.
What I have done is to add text to the top of "Appendix E. Release
Notes" explaining the symbol and what it links to. Patch attached.
We can still consider a different symbol or number labeling, but I think
this patch is in the right direction.
