The other problem with such an approach is that section (1) would be
extremely duplicative of the main release-notes text. How about a
hybrid: we continue to identify patch authors as now, that is with names
attached to the feature/bugfix descriptions, and then have a separate
section "Other Contributors" to recognize patch reviewers and other
helpers?
