Re: Emacs 28.2 released

[Karl Fogel <kfogel@red-bean.com>]

Congratulations on the release!

Since these release announcement emails are widely shared (I saw 
this one appear on news.ycombinator.com, for example), it might be 
good to include a link to corresponding release notes.

That could be a link to an appropriate named anchor on 
https://www.gnu.org/savannah-checkouts/gnu/emacs/emacs.html#Releases 
(but there do not appear to be release-specific anchors on that 
page currently, so we'd have to add that to release process).

Or it could be a link directly to the plaintext release notes that 
the above web page points to anyway; in this case, that would be 
https://www.gnu.org/savannah-checkouts/gnu/emacs/news/NEWS.28.1.

Either way, it would be helpful to those who see these release 
announcements to be able to go directly from the announcement to a 
page that tells them what's new in that release.

Best regards,
-Karl
