Howdy folks,

A long while back we talked about trying to make sure perldelta is
kept up to date through the release cycle. I'd like to once again
request that we try really hard to do that.

There were about 140 commits between 5.31.7 and 5.31.8, but perldelta
only saw 4 commits from one author (thank you!)

As the release manager, it's hard to know which commits are worthy of
adding and which ones aren't. And it's often hard to condense the
larger commits (or groups of commits) into a sensible changelog.

It's important that we get this right for things like security issues
and features/improvements because these perldeltas we write will be
used to generate the final perldelta for the yearly release. We want
these to show how perl is improving and growing!

Thanks for your time and your work on Perl 5.

Cheers,

-- Matthew Horsfall (alh)
