docs: remove gossiper deadlock fix entry from 0.21.0 release notes
The gossiper deadlock fix (PR #10540) was already included in the
v0.20.1 release, so the entry should not appear again in the 0.21.0
release notes.
What changed, and why it matters
This commit only edits the release notes document for version 0.21.0. It removes a duplicate mention of a previously released gossiper deadlock fix and removes one contributor's name from the credits list. No program code is changed, so this has no direct security effect on the software itself.
No security action needed. Treat as normal documentation maintenance.
Security signals we found
No strong security signals were identified.
Evidence from the diff
The diff deletes a seven-line entry from docs/release-notes/release-notes-0.21.0.md. The removed text described PR #10540, a gossiper shutdown deadlock fix that was already shipped in v0.20.1. The change is purely documentation cleanup to avoid double-counting a fix in the 0.21.0 notes. It also removes ‘Matt Morehouse’ from the contributor list, likely because that credit belongs to the earlier v0.20.1 notes.
