It would be nice for translators to be included in the list of names as well. It's quite a lot of work to do a translation after all. /Dennis ^ permalink raw reply [nested|flat] 4+ messages in thread

It's quite a lot of work to do a translation after all. This is of course true. The release notes credits are basically composed from the commit logs. If we want to add translators as well, we need to come up with a reliable way to collect everybody's names, including from mailing lists, direct commits, bug tracker, as well as names of people who have helped behind the scenes but are "represented" here by a single individual. Now is a good time to start thinking about this. ^ permalink raw reply [nested|flat] 4+ messages in thread

I believe they should know all other persons involved. For example, I can easily give you a list of translators to Ukrainian. After we collect those lists, maybe, it's a good idea to put those under version control for a current DEV branch. After official release, wipe it out and start from the scratch. ^ permalink raw reply [nested|flat] 4+ messages in thread

Just parsing the commit logs of the translation repo would give some names but maybe not all. On the other hand the current list in the release notes is probably produced by parsing the PG commits and those can also be from a group of persons represented by a single individual. I don't know how testers are included in the current list and where that data come from. /Dennis Den 2023-03-10 kl. 10:40, skrev Pavlo Golub: >> On 09.03.23 23:17, Dennis Björklund wrote: >>> In the end of each Release notes there is this section: >>> >>> "The following individuals (in alphabetical order) have contributed >>> to this release as patch authors, committers, reviewers, testers, or >>> reporters of issues." >>> >>> It would be nice for translators to be included in the list of names >>> as well.
