The text in there was written for the development team's own use and is

Below you will find some other general notes that were not considered
spoilers:
- * invalid status highlight color could be maliciously used to corrupt memory
- * formatting corpse names used internal buffers differently from formatting
- * other objects and could potentially clobber memory
- * avoid divide by 0 crash if 'bogusmon' (file of bogus monster types) is empty
- * avoid #wizrumorcheck crash if either 'rumors.tru' or 'rumors.fal' or both
- * were empty when makedefs built 'rumors'
+ * during engraving, spaces were counted instead of non-space (cherry-pick of
+ 4e0a1e04 from NetHack-3.7)
+ * avoid potential buffer overflow in append_str()
+ * resolve missing dependency in NetHack.sln
+ * code in include/tradstdc.h was trying to suppress warn_unused result by
+ defining warn_unused_result to an empty string and that began causing
+ a build error within a system-supplied header file cdefs.h when using
+ ubuntu impish 21.10; disable that for any Linux unless GCC_URWARN is
+ defined to force it back into effect
+ * update_inventory() after leash goes slack
+ * player assigned name for monsters, specific objects, or object types could be
+ longer than what was intented to be allowed; for 'curses', much longer
+ * windows: added winflexbison to travis-ci configuration to permit full build of
+ levcomp and dgncomp
+ * windows: a bad chdir specified in win/win32/dgnstuff.mak caused full build to
+ abort
+ * windows: the console.rc file had outdated information stating 3.6.3 when the
+ official 3.6.6 binary was built.
+ * windows: switch from using keyhandling dll's to incorporating the three
+ variations (default, ray, 340) in sys/winnt/nttty.c
+ * curses: cherry-picked selectsaved code from 3.7 for menu of save files
+ * NetHackW: fix delay rendering of cursor when using farlook
