I think they're excellent – the text is actually interesting to read and it gives me a much better impression of the relativ importance of changes than a simple list would.

I also can't find fault with giving some appreciation to the relevant people who contributed by actually naming them.

You'd call the Django release notes a simple list?

My main problem isn't the fluff, it's the lack of real documentation for new features. Or that the link doesn't go to the documentation, it goes to the merged PR on guthub. And that it's very incomplete (see Everything else).

This is not excellent, in that it could keep the things you like and still be much better.
