Hm. Actually, since that went further back than v13, I don't think
it should appear in the v13 notes at all; it will be material for
the next quarterly update release notes.

We could adjust the release-note entry for your patch to say
"Improve comment detection for .pgpass files", or we could decide
it's not worth documenting that part and just drop the entry.
