The bug report seems quite clear to me. It's saying that by having a =
description of all the new features in the 2.4 branch as a whole under a =
title that names a specific minor release is misleading. To this day the =
project home page implies that "Loadable MPMs, major improvements to =
OCSP support" and so forth, are features newly introduced in 2.4.18.

The issue could be fixed simply be reworking this sentence:

This version of httpd is a major release of the 2.4 stable branch, and =
represents the best available version of Apache HTTP Server. New =
features include Loadable MPMs, major improvements to OCSP support, =
mod_lua, Dynamic Reverse Proxy configuration, Improved =
Authentication/Authorization, FastCGI Proxy, New Expression Parser, and =
a Small Object Caching API.

.. as ..

This version of httpd is a *patch level* release of the 2.4 stable =
branch, and represents the best available version of Apache HTTP Server. =
New features *in the 2.4 branch* include Loadable MPMs, major =
improvements to OCSP support, mod_lua, Dynamic Reverse Proxy =
configuration, Improved Authentication/Authorization, FastCGI Proxy, New =
Expression Parser, and a Small Object Caching API.
