I think the sort improvements done in v15 are worth a mention under
General Performance.  The commits for this were 91e9e89dc, 40af10b57
and 697492434.  I've been running a few benchmarks between v14 and v15
over the past few days and a fairly average case speedup is about 25%.
but there are cases where I've seen up to 400%.  I think the increase
is to an extent that we maybe should have considered making tweaks in
cost_tuplesort(). I saw some plans that ran in about 60% of the time
by disabling Hash Agg and allowing Sort / Group Agg to do the work.

Good point.  Do you have any suggested text?  I can't really see it
clearly based on the commits, except "sorting is faster".

If we're going to lump those into a single line then maybe something
along the lines of:

* Reduce memory consumption and improve performance of sorting tuples in memory

I think one line is fine from a user's perspective, but it's slightly
harder to know the order of the names in the credits given the 3
independent commits.

I think a brief description following the one-liner would be useful for the release notes.

If you can share a few more details about the benchmarks, we can expand on the one-liner in the release announcement (as this sounds like one of those cool, buzz-y things :)
