Sorry about that. The release notes are made based on commit-log
entries. In this case we had

Author: Bruce Momjian <bruce(at)momjian(dot)us>
Branch: master [acdb8c225] 2012-12-10 23:03:25 -0500
Branch: REL9_2_STABLE [35fb1434b] 2012-12-10 23:03:28 -0500

Fix pg_upgrade -O/-o options

Fix previous commit that added synchronous_commit=off, but broke -O/-o
due to missing space in argument passing.

Backpatch to 9.2.

so it was Bruce's error not to credit you in the commit message.
I know that he knows better --- it is project policy to properly credit
patch authors. But mistakes do happen, of course. Again, my apologies
on behalf of the project.

regards, tom lane
