not just one single line but it is two lines, where one is blank.  That is

7621bec9f3 Add instructions on creating an OpenPGP key. Also add a checkkey.sh
script that can be used to test keys for minimal security requirements.
A long list of people helped with this.  In particular, Michael Lucas
and David Wolfskill contributed many corrections and suggestions.  I
started the script based on the addkey.sh script, and David Wolfskill
worked it into something usable.  After more testing, the text can
suggest using it to check keys before committing them.

1d9bea10ed Merge the projects/entities branch into head/
The primary purposes are to clean up duplicated author definitions in
both share/xml/authors.ent and share/xml/developers.ent, and as a added
bonus simplify writing up author names/email addresses in web pages.

Apart from merging developers.ent into authors.ent, removing the former,
and updating the Committers Guide there should be little user-visible changes:
- a.portmgr renamed to a.portmgr.members
- a.doceng renamed to a.doceng.members
- team.re renamed to a.re.members.email and moved from
share/xml/freebsd.ent to share/xml/authors.ent
- a.core updated and moved from share/xml/mailing-lists.ent to
share/xml/teams.ent
- share/pgpkeys/{addkey.sh|README} updated

Translations are untouched except for build fixes.
