I keep some notes as part of the diagnostics patch set, and break off pieces to 
upstream occasionally. Are you happy with a comment-only patch for these sorts

 so I made that
 release.  I will do 2.7.1 soon, but I don't have an
 exact schedule yet.  Is there a reason to
 hurry?

Anyway, I have rebased...
