I don't think it should be done at the same time as the release notes.

Specifically, we have recently put an emphasis on having the release
notes ready for beta, and the natural flow of things should be that
there are relatively few changes to the the substance of the release
notes once beta gets rolling. On the other hand, I have found that a
significant amount of new contributors appear in commit messages during
beta, which also makes some sense. So making the contributor list
fairly late and then not changing it much is more efficient.
