Reminder: write release notes about your nice work

Beta1 for 25.8 will be released in a couple of weeks, so I thought to 
bring this up. In April, I added over thirty entries to release notes 
wiki pages. I didn't artificially try to inflate that number, they were 
all noteworthy items, which is rather cool. While I combine the work 
with the monthly QA report research, it is still a bit distracting and 
it would be good to have them written by the developers themselves. I 
also don't really have the energy to create screenshots as part of this 
work.

We have guidelines that include instructions on what to do and how: 
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/Guidelines

The release notes page for 25.8: 
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/25.8

To new developers: you can log into the wiki using your single sign-on 
account that you created for getting access to Gerrit.

The goal is to include as many items as we can before marking the page 
for translation with the beta1 release.
