Description
We could have an option to also fetch the users profile and include a company handle, if one is present. This would probably need a whitelist as some contributions are done in private and their company would maybe not want to be listed in a changelog. So we could have a whitelist of user names where we should include a company name. To not having to fetch the user profile etc we could also have a hard coded list of username to company or sponsor. Whenever a user contributes to a feature, it would include the handle of the company as well.

Research direction
Start by tracing how the GitHub issues API data is turned into changelog entries, then inspect where user profiles could be fetched or mapped. Define how a whitelist or username-to-company list is configured, including privacy expectations. Done means eligible contributions consistently include the company or sponsor handle while others do not.
