Re: Release text (was Re: Lilypond code/feature freeze for 2.12)

[Graham Percival]

It's the file in the top of the source dir.  We generally add that
at the end, in case there's any last-minute people to add.  That
said, it's probably close enough to 2.12 that we can include the
list of names now.

See the previous release announcements for examples.

Cheers,
- Graham
