It's reasonable to reply to a commit mail and ask the committer to consider adding a RELNOTES entry, perhaps proposing some text. And if the committer doesn't follow up, there's no problem with just going ahead and committing the new entry. That said, I would think that an actual removal of GNU objdump would be the commit that deserves a RELNOTES entry, not this one.
