Mike Hansen recently added the "Author(s)", "Reviewer(s)" and "Merged
in" tags for trac tickets. After the source release of 4.0.1, Mike and
I went through all tickets in the 4.0.1 milestone, reading through
each ticket to get the author(s) and reviewer(s) of that ticket, and
add those names to the corresponding tags. After doing so for all
tickets in 4.0.1, I then started to compile the release note for 4.0.1
using the author and reviewer names in the newly added tags. In that
release note, I explicitly mentioned the patch authors and reviewers.
A simple search through the release note shows that you have authored
more than one patch; I agree with that. So I guess that what you're
saying is that I should also list the reviewers on the release *tour*
as well.

In compiling the release tour, I've always put my draft on the Sage wiki at

http://wiki.sagemath.org/sage-4.0.1

Anyone is welcome to enhance it or showcase the features they
introduced in the 4.0.1 milestone. I've always kept in mind that a
release tour is not a summary of bug fixes. It's about showcasing
features at a high enough level that a Sage user can glance through
and know what sort of new stuffs have been added to a particular
release. English not being my native language, I've tried to spin any
release tour I've authored so far in as positive a light as my
understanding of a ticket permits.

To edit a release tour on the Sage wiki, one can log in and edit that
wiki page, or any similar wiki pages for milestones post 4.0.1. So I
think I didn't inform people beforehand to let them know about that
release tour on the Sage wiki. My apologies, folks.
