Hi Dalai,
I'm not talking about an add-on in particular, I'm referring to add-ons
in general.
In regard to your first point, we are agreed that the credit gen script
is skipping add-ons; however, from what you've shown me, it looks like
it would be easy to support. So I'm wondering why it is that add-ons
are being skipped and what can be done to correct it for the 2.93 release?
In regard to your second point, I am aware that it is the responsibility
of the developer to document changes in the wiki release notes, I do so
for every release, and I thank you for your willingness to help with any
problems accessing the wiki. I was, however, referring to the fancier
release notes [1] that are compiled from the wiki release notes, and
that these have been lacking a section for add-ons recently. So, what
is required to have an add-ons section added to the 'fancy' release notes?

Hi Ryan,
Are you talking about an add-on in particular? There are two related but
separate topics in your email:
1. Contributors credit
The script that generates the credits [1] is indeed be skipping the add-on
repositories.
2. Release notes
It is the responsibility of any developer that contributes code, to
document the changes and mention them in the (wiki) release notes [2]. If
an add-on maintainer needs wiki access they can contact me directly via
email or as dfelinto in blender.chat.

Congratulations on the release! Everything looks good, there seems to
be tons of great improvements,
and the reels are quite impressive.
However, I have noticed that Add-ons are treated differently in the
release notes. Judging by the emails from the bf-extensions mailing
list, many of the Add-ons bundled with Blender receive dozens of updates
between each release, but this hasn't lately been advertised in the
release notes (aside from the occasional mention in @SouthernShotty's 5
minute videos, very grateful to him for that), plus the
authors/maintainers and their commits to these Add-ons don't seem to be
credited on the credits page[1]. Since the Add-ons are bundled with
Blender, is there a reason that they aren't credited at release?
If the reason for this is, in part, that authors/maintainers aren't
adding their changes to the wiki version of the
release notes in time, then I would like to inquire as to when the
cutoff for editing the wiki is to make it into the
release notes, or what else could be done to have them included?
