For my part, I am not sure the names in the release notes are actually
all that helpful.

It has one important effect of current interest: establishing the truth that multiple people and multiple companies are involved in producing and maintaining PostgreSQL. Whether the names are properly attributed will always be a time-consuming task, but I will oppose any attempt to remove or obscure evidence of who develops PostgreSQL, wherever that occurs.


Thats a valid point and I think one way to retain such an evidence
without adding name of author/reviewer/committer is to add a link to
commit/'s after each feature, something like whats done in some of
the other release notes [1].
