thanks.rust-lang.org basically dumps all author names without giving zero context. Contributor A might just a fix a typo or contribute a non-trivial feature. There is no way to figure it out without doing some research.
Instead, everyone who reads our changelog at https://docs.python.org/3/whatsnew/changelog.html can see what Contributor A exactly contributed to Python.
Right. So we should keep it :-)
"Patch by" marker is already documented at https://devguide.python.org/committing/#what-s-new-and-news-entries and it's not hard to ask the contributor to add it. I usually add it myself in less than a minute.
I'm ok to ask the author to add himself/herself ;-) Victor
