I fear that someone who built a significant feature for a release would feel they need recognition as well, but they don’t because they aren’t reflected in this (AFAIK). If we get into dedicated specific code- contributors, where do we do the cutoff? What about people who not write features, but review every pull request? It gets messy fast. I don’t want to get into that. Plus there are plenty of great rewards already and I’m sure once this is rolling, we will think of a lot more, too :) Best Jan -- > > I'm thinking it would be a small para at the bottom of the release > announcement, something like this: > > "This release is dedicated to the following advocates as a thank you > for helping grow the community: Alice, Bob, Chris" > > Perhaps we could even add some sort of clarification as to why they're > being thanked. > > Lena, for naming the release: we can exercise editorial control by > simply saying "that's not gonna fly, pick a different name."
