Added some queries on the github issue, to understand the work, and we 
can target it for the release accordingly.

Same as above.

Release notes for 3.11 will be drafted post branching, at which point a 
request to all will be posted to update the same. Please update the 
same, using a review via gerrit, referencing your github issue #.

Release notes are part of the glusterfs repository, hence updates to the 
same are like doc/code changes to the repository, hence require a 
submission via gerrit and not updates to the github issue. Hope this is 
clear, else please ask for more clarifications.
