Speaking of co-authors - I think they absolutely should be included in the release notes credits.
The more recognition we give contributors, the more motivation newcomers have to join the development community. There are edge cases where a feature gets reverted in a later minor release, but those are rare. What matters is that we need a steady stream of new contributors, and crediting everyone's work - including co-authors - is one of the most effective ways to encourage that.
+1, and additionally encourages collaboration among contributors.
