Okay, I added "Lakshmi N" because of this commit which is linked to from
the release notes:

commit b364828f825
Author: Daniel Gustafsson <dgustafsson(at)postgresql(dot)org>
Date: Wed Apr 8 22:53:43 2026 +0300

doc: Fix data_checksums data type

Commit f19c0eccae96 changed the data_checksums GUC datatype from a
boolean to an enum. This updates the documentation to accurately
reflect its new type and document the new possible states: 'on',
'off', 'inprogress-on', and 'inprogress-off'.

Also update the xref for more information to point to the section
on data checksums rather than the initdb checksum option.

but it is only a small doc patch, so makes sense to remove him. I
debated this one at the time I added his name.
