I completely forgot about the changelog. Yes, we should update that.
What do you think – should we update the changelog and push a 1.4.1 tag,
or should we update the changelog and replace the existing 1.4.0 tag
with a new one that includes the changelog update?

I can take care of the Debian work. Debian generally prefers to keep
upstream changelog entries out of debian/changelog – debian/changelog is
supposed to be a changelog for the packaging, not the package. But I’ll
make sure the Mosh changelog is included in /usr/share/doc/mosh.

For developers, it looks like cgull, Anders, Alex, and I all contributed
over 100 lines of diff to Mosh since the last release. It’s an arbitrary
cutoff, but it seems as good as any to me. I think cgull should probably
go first on the list, since they were making active contributions until
2021.

As for release manager, I think that’s Alex. He was definitely the
forcing function here. :)
