Please note that I have discussed this question with others offline,
hence the delay in my reply.

Yes, that was on purpose. We have seen a large increase of these
trivial patches to pgsql-hackers lately for some reason. Maybe it is
LLMs or scanners or just a lot of new people with fresh eyes looking
at the code. It started to get tedious to process them one by one,
and we discussed among committers if we could have a more lightweight
process for them. As an experiment, I started to collect all such
changes into these larger batches. Not crediting the reporters is
part of the experiment; tracking credit for trivial typo fixes is
hardly worth the effort, skipping that makes the process less
time-consuming.
