The release notes currently cover changes to libraries shipped in each
Boost release. I'd like to propose adding a small, clearly separated
section called "Newly Endorsed Libraries" that lists libraries endorsed on
this mailing list since the previous release.

Endorsement is a community action with a public record on this list.
Reporting it in the release notes documents a Boost ecosystem event, not an
editorial judgment. The section would be agnostic: any library endorsed
through the standard process qualifies, regardless of author or affiliation.

The motivation is practical. Libraries that come to formal review with an
existing user base get better reviews. A brief mention in the release
notes, where attention is highest, gives endorsed libraries visibility
among exactly the people most likely to test them and participate in the
review.

Proposed format: a short entry per library with the library name, a
one-line description, a link to the endorsement thread, and a link to the
library's repository. Nothing more.

If there's interest I'll draft a concrete example for the 1.91 release
notes.
