https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=290841 --- Comment #1 from B.S. <bigsneaky@duck.com> --- Since the document was mostly self-consistent (and consistent with the 13.0R and 14.0R relnotes), I went ahead and made a GitHub pull request with no full stop after sponsorship acknowledgements and only one sponsor per pair of parentheses. There was a similar mish-mash of formatting for the gitrefs: some in parentheses, some with full stop after, etc. I opted for the dominant formatting which was also consistent with the 13.0R and (mostly) the 14.0R relnotes. A slight difference is that 13.0R relnotes had comma-separated gitrefs, not just space-separated like 14.0R: this seems more readable and was the dominant form in the 15.0R relnotes anyway, so I changed the few space-separated instances to comma-separated. https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-doc/pull/568 15.0R/relnotes: format gitref/sponsor consistently Improve internal consistency based on 13.0R and 14.0R release notes. Unless written as part of a sentence, place gitrefs - after end of sentence describing the change, - without parentheses, - separated by commas, - no full stop afterwards. Sponsorships are formatted as "(Sponsored by Foo)" with - one sponsor per pair of parentheses, - no punctuation except as part of sponsor's name, - no full stop afterwards. Comma-separated gitrefs with same sponsor only need one "Sponsored by". Some other minor punctuation consistency, e.g. enforce serial comma.
