Got it.  How to I provide the NEWS blurb?  Do I need to send
a patch of the 30.1 NEWS file (or the 30.2 pretest 2 NEWS file)?

Or can I just include the blurb in email here, like this?

*** New user option 'imenu-allow-duplicate-menu-items-flag'.
This specifies whether Imenu can include duplicate menu items.
Duplicate items are allowed by default (option value 't').

Also, do you prefer that `-flag' be removed from the name?
It seems that Emacs no longer respects that convention.
Either way is OK by me.
