| Lukas has delivered a powerful new optimizer with this release, built on earlier work by Miguel Garcia. Many more (effectively) final methods, including those defined in objects and traits, are now inlined. As well, closure allocations, dead code and [box/unbox pairs](https://github.com/scala/scala/pull/4858) are eliminated more effectively. |

Go go Lukas! Maybe make the "Lukas" a hyperlink to his GitHub profile?
Or maybe his Twitter profile - boost that twitter following :-)

That's not necessary IMO, other names are also unlinked :)

I actually think it would sound more professional to say "This release ships with a powerful new optimizer", and give credits (Miguel, me) at the end of the paragraph.

What do you think about including other repositories into these statistics? For example, a significant portion of the 2.12 work went into https://github.com/scala/scala-java8-compat.
