Hi Madhan,
I see that on the Apache Atlas wiki there are steps to commit a patch here:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/ATLAS/Developer+Resources#DeveloperResources-CommitSteps

It says that a commits should update the release log, but I notice that
this has not occurred recently. Is this still part of the process?

Based on your previous suggestion:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/ATLAS/Using+Git+with+Atlas
I assume the committer needs to issue a git commit --patch - so that the
original message and authorship are maintained. In this case, we do not
include the release log update.

I am looking to update the wiki with the current practices.

all the best,
David Radley - Apache Atlas committer
