 - Issue #16333: use (",", ": ") as default separator when indent is specified
   to avoid trailing whitespace.  Patch by Serhiy Storchaka.
 
+- Issue #16573: In 2to3, treat enumerate() like a consuming call, so superfluous
+  list() calls aren't added to filter(), map(), and zip() which are directly
+  passed enumerate().
+
 - Issue #16549: Make json.tool work again on Python 3 and add tests.
   Initial patch by Berker Peksag and Serhiy Storchaka.
