Just to be clear my +1 is for:
- having the list of contributors to the release only in the RN
- I’m fine to also list other types of contributions (translations, etc).
The release process needs to explain how to find them and even better how
to automate getting them since we need to be careful that it doesn’t take
too long to gather them.
Thanks

Let me know what you think.
My +1
Big +1, it’s nicer to have the acks in the RNs. Thanks
