For the record, I typically construct the list of reviewers by reading
over the thread and adding all the people whose names I find there in
chronological order, excluding things that are clearly not review
(like "Bumped to next CF.") and opinions on narrow questions that
don't indicate that any code-reading or testing was done (like "+1 for
calling the GUC foo_bar_baz rather than quux_bletch".) I saw that you
copied Corey on the original email, but I see no posts from him on the
thread, which is why he didn't get included in the commit message.
While I have no problem with him being included in the release notes,
I obviously can't know about activity that happens entirely off-list.
If you mentioned somewhere in the 200+ message on this topic that he
should be included, I missed that, too. I think it's much harder to
give credit adequately when contributions are off-list; letting
everyone know what's going on is why we have a list.
