@mattip or anyone else, does this look like the right way to document a change in the random variate stream in a new release?

It would read better to put the last sentence first, something like.

There was a bug in `numpy.random.Generator.integers` that caused biased
sampling of 8 and 16 bit integer types. Fixing that bug has changed the output
stream from what is was in previous releases.

LGTM, but I'll let someone more familiar with the new release note mechanism comment.

Looks fine. You can see the result on the ci artifacts for the pr.
