It might be worth reminding folks that the release notes do not exist for the purpose of mentioning contributors. regards, tom lane

From what I can tell, he has done quite a few of them which is why I submitted the patch. *shrug* > > It might be worth reminding folks that the release notes do not > exist for the purpose of mentioning contributors. Then why do we mention them at all in the release notes? Sincerely, Joshua D. Drake

You've got the motivation backwards. We mention the responsible (blameworthy?) persons when describing a change that users might find interesting. We don't insert release-note entries that users wouldn't find interesting, just for the purpose of mentioning who did it. Which seemed to me to be mostly the point of your proposed addition. regards, tom lane

You are correct that would be why I submitted it. My motivation may have been backward based on the above definition but I assure you when people are looking at the release notes they are not looking to see who is responsible in the sense you are mentioning. Most are looking for recognition. I would never have considered your reasoning above. When someone puts a concerted effort to provide a better user experience for our number one used client (psql) and they aren't mentioned in the release notes, that to me would be an oversight worth adjustment. Of course that assumes we are on the same page for what the mention in the release notes is for, which we aren't :). Sincerely, Joshua D. Drake
