Spring-boot: Credit contributors for forward-ported contributions
I've just noticed that contributors aren't credited when their changes are ported forwards. For example, the 2.3.6 release notes do not credit @dreis2211 for https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/pull/24119 which was ported forwards into 2.3.6 under #24121.
I'll flag this for team attention so that we can discuss how we might go about doing this. I think we might need a combination of changes to the forward porting script and the release notes generator.

If that helps, I don't really care about this personally. As long as the release notes mention the actual change it's fine.
I'm relatively certain that others might want this credit, but I wanted to make sure that you know this one particular contributor doesn't care too much about the credit ;)

We discussed this on the team call but I forgot why this is a Boot issue. Wouldn't we be able to update the changelog generator to follow the forward-port chain and get the original contributor name?

We thought we'd need a changelog generator change and _also_ some configuration in Boot.
