D.gnu - Should GCC 12.1 release notes contain D updates?

Hi GDC

Looking over the gcc release notes for version 12.1 here: 
https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-12/changes.html I didn't see any mention 
of gdc supporting newer versions of the d-language.  That seems 
like big deal, is there any way to get a mention in the release 
notes?

I did see that GDC is now required to make GDC here: 
https://gcc.gnu.org/install/prerequisites.html so I presume a 
much newer version of the front end is supported.

Thanks,

The announcement on the forum here: 
https://forum.dlang.org/thread/qgrchukzyceflenrrmct forum.dlang.org stated that
the D front-end for GCC 12.1 was updated to 2.100.0-rc.1. It would be good to
get more visibility on it.

GCC 12.2 will be out on Friday (updated front-end to 2.100.1), 
I've gotten round to writing up changelog notes for the gcc 
website, will leave it a couple days before pushing.
