Feature request: ability to highlight new contributors

Open jedevc opened this issue 7 months ago • 1 comments

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. As a maintainer, I want to highlight the work that new contributors do, and be able to call them out at the bottom of release notes. I remember getting started in open source, and getting that call out was a huge motivator to keep going 💛

Describe the solution you'd like I'd love a way to somehow work out which contributors are new in a given release. I don't think there's a way to do this?

I'd be able to get it to work, if there was a way to get information about previous releases, and be able to iterate through them? Something like BatchData.PreviousReleases, I guess as an enhancement of https://github.com/miniscruff/changie/issues/224?

Describe alternatives you've considered Not really, any alternatives, aside from adding a custom generation step / manual editing step, which I kinda want to avoid.

Additional context Nope!
