Description

It would be nice to automatically thank community contributors by referencing them in the CHANGELOG.md for the release.

There's a number of engsys projects to allow this to happen such as https://github.com/marketplace/actions/auto-add-contributors.

Here is a screen shot of AWS MCP server which does this, and I quite like having the shout out for the community members who are helping the product for free.
