Hmmm good question which gets back to where we started :). My very first 
thought on all of this was that we would list all notable changes but 
that we wouldn't mention anyone's name.

Then, we would have a "Who contributed to this release" section that 
just listed names without attribution to the specific feature. IMO, that 
is the only "fair" way.

I realize that notable is subjective.

Here is the deal :). I think as long as a single person is making the 
decision as to what goes and stays, there will always be friction. 
Perhaps it is time for a "release team"? Odd numbers only, +1/-1 voting 
etc... I don't know maybe that is too much.

Sincerely,

Joshua D. Drake
