"Changes include" doesn't really add much value, and feels like AI
slop.

I'd rewrite the message as:

Update the NTFS driver documentation to reflect the update implementation.
Remove outdated sections (web site, old features list, known bugs,
volume/stripe sets with MD/DM driver, limitations of old driver), add a
concise overview of current driver features and long-term maintenance
focus, add a utilities support section pointing to ntfsprogs-plus project
and update mount options list with current supported options.

I'd probably also move this last in the series.

A lot of these mount options sections starts the first line with tab
indentation and then continue with spaces only.  Please stick to one
of them.

Otherwise looks good:
