ANNOUNCE: Update.
* We're now at 24 months since since rc1.
* Consistently set macro package names in single quotes.
* Recharacterize the mom macro package as "contributed", since it is in
groff's contrib directory; this is more consistent with other items.
* Add Italian localization as a headline item, on my own initiative.
