+      any explicit <literal>DEFAULT</literal>
+      clause) failed to install the domain's default
+      value in existing rows, instead leaving the new column null.

we have two commits,
https://git.postgresql.org/cgit/postgresql.git/commit/?id=d6dd2a02bae0d67ff6fbd73068dc36d0b82fc14b
and
https://git.postgresql.org/cgit/postgresql.git/commit/?id=bd178960c69bae972c274af8102da9018df8196a

we should include both commit's authors...

BTW, I found that for minor releases, bug reporter is not included....
