All people should know heroes who worked and spent their time on a GRAMPS features. This is at least honest. I mean not only feature creators, but also developers who made some updates, bug-fixes even small. It could be one of: 1. additional place in addon or app footer 2. additional “Authors” button for the features 3. additional menu Item with whole features/addons list and authors 4. after release publicate the features list with authors on the gramps.discourse.group 5. something else It could look like this: `Aurthors: (the main author who created) and (other developers who updated)` ---

The [ChangeLog](https://github.com/gramps-project/gramps/blob/maintenance/gramps52/ChangeLog) file contains a list of commits made by every contributor for a release. It is summarised into the [NEWS](https://github.com/gramps-project/gramps/blob/maintenance/gramps52/NEWS) file which we use as the basis for the release notes. Perhaps someone would like to volunteer to write better release notes. ---
