Description

This is a good item to be picked by first time contributors to Kafka code base

At release_notes.py Line: 47

The == and != operators use the compared objects' _eq_ method to test if they are equal. To check if an object is a singleton, such as None, we recommend that you use the is identity comparison operator.
