INSTALL.gen was removed in commit 6d41249a (2018).  Commit 5fec19d4 (2014) renamed INSTALL to INSTALL.extra, and no file INSTALL currently exists in the source tree (it's created as a symlink during configure), so it's not clear why this bug report asks FOR-RELEASE to refer to INSTALL.

The configure-created symlink is the replacement for INSTALL.gen, so it seems to me this message about INSTALL.gen in FOR-RELEASE is obsolete and should be removed entirely.

FOR-RELEASE: Mentions nonexistent "INSTALL.gen"

  It should simple be "INSTALL" (and should be updated).

  Some more instructions should be provided,
see for example the missing "NEWS VERSION 1.22.4" in bug #57855.
