Speaking of co-authors - I think they absolutely should be included in the
release notes credits.

The more recognition we give contributors, the more motivation newcomers
have to join the development community. There are edge cases where a feature
gets reverted in a later minor release, but those are rare. What matters
is that we need a steady stream of new contributors, and crediting everyone's
work - including co-authors - is one of the most effective ways to
encourage that.


Best regards, Andrey Borodin.
