thanks.rust-lang.org basically dumps all author names without giving zero context. Contributor A might just a fix a typo or contribute a non-trivial feature. There is no way to figure it out without doing some research. Instead, everyone who reads our changelog at https://docs.python.org/3/whatsnew/changelog.html can see what Contributor A exactly contributed to Python. "Patch by" marker is already documented at https://devguide.python.org/committing/#what-s-new-and-news-entries and it's not hard to ask the contributor to add it. I usually add it myself in less than a minute. --Berker _______________________________________________ core-workflow mailing list -- core-workflow@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to core-workflow-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mm3/mailman3/lists/core-workflow.python.org/ This list is governed by the PSF Code of Conduct: https://www.python.org/psf/codeofconduct
