Description

What would you like to be added: I noticed PipeCD release notes don’t currently highlight contributors.
Other CNCF projects use automation (like release-drafter) to shout out contributors in every release, which helps with motivation and community growth.

I’m happy to prototype this with a small config so maintainers don’t have extra manual work.

Thoughts?

First steps

  1. Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
  2. Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
  3. Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
  4. Open a pull request that references the issue number.

Research direction

No file or test is named. Start by reviewing how PipeCD currently produces release notes and the release-drafter-style automation proposed in the issue; done means contributor highlights appear automatically in every release without manual maintainer work.
