[Bf-committers] Blender 2.93 Released!

[Ryan Inch]

Congratulations on the release!  Everything looks good, there seems to 
be tons of great improvements,
and the reels are quite impressive.

However, I have noticed that Add-ons are treated differently in the 
release notes.  Judging by the emails from the bf-extensions mailing 
list, many of the Add-ons bundled with Blender receive dozens of updates 
between each release, but this hasn't lately been advertised in the 
release notes (aside from the occasional mention in @SouthernShotty's 5 
minute videos, very grateful to him for that), plus the 
authors/maintainers and their commits to these Add-ons don't seem to be 
credited on the credits page[1].  Since the Add-ons are bundled with 
Blender, is there a reason that they aren't credited at release?

If the reason for this is, in part, that authors/maintainers aren't 
adding their changes to the wiki version of the
release notes in time, then I would like to inquire as to when the 
cutoff for editing the wiki is to make it into the
release notes, or what else could be done to have them included?
