Nice improvements. I like them.

src/guide/release-notes.md line 81:

> 79:       * If more than one release note is required for the same set of fixes, then open additional sub-tasks with the same affects version - see [JDK-8073861](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8073861) as an example.

> 81:     * If an issue is backported to earlier releases the same release note will be used - just add the new release version in the [Affects Version/s]{.jbs-field} and [Fix Version/s]{.jbs-field} fields of the release note sub-task.

Might be a missing comma.
Suggestion:

    * If an issue is backported to earlier releases, the same release note will be used - just add the new release version in the [Affects Version/s]{.jbs-field} and [Fix Version/s]{.jbs-field} fields of the release note sub-task.
