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.
