## Problem/motivation The current tools for generating release notes are inadequate as they only focus on code commits. They also require the issue number to be in the commit message. I want to gather the stats for all contributors for a release including non-code contributions which there are many. ## Solution The result for release notes should be something like: ``` New Features * #12345678 (with link) * #12345678 (with link) * ... Bug Fixes * #12345678 (with link) * #12345678 (with link) * ... Other Contributions * Plan = [number] * Task = [number] * Support = [number] Contributors: kepol (35), afoster (8), emma horrell (6), scott falconer (6), mglaman (3)... salsa digital (35), acquia (10) fosterinteractive (8), ... ```
