Release Note

<!-- markdown -->

N.B. this issue only impacts developers working on Apache HBase.

Committers who wish to use a feature branch and do so by creating a fork off of `master` that is named for the umbrella JIRA corresponding to that feature should now automatically get nightly build results posted to said umbrella JIRA. Committers may freely rebase their feature branch as new commits come into `master`. In the past, such rebasing would cause the feature branch's nightly tests to comment on JIRA for each commit that was newly included by the rebase. Now, the nightly test will skip those comments and *only* comment on the feature branch umbrella JIRA.

Description

It would help improve our signal-to-noise ratio from nightly tests if feature branch runs stopped commenting on all the jiras that got covered by a rebase / merge.

should be straight forward to have the commenting bit check the current branch against our feature branch naming convention.
