Main authors only. Reviewers should be mentioned only in the commit log. If I
coded a feature and Bruce got the idea worked in another patch (that is better
then mine), I think only Bruce should be credited in release notes (but I
could be mentioned in the commit log as the feature designer). However, if I
posted a patch and Robert improved that patch using only 30% of my work, I
should be credited (as coauthor) because he used a considerable part of my work.

I confess that I like the link for relevant commit log in the release notes.
