Thread:Project:Current issues/Honoring our volunteer devs/reply (2)

I've added a link there. Usually, I do this on the MediaWiki release pages: you'll notice that most stuff on  1.21, 1.22, 1.23, 1.24 is done by volunteers.

I'm not sure how to expose such information without duplications nor ghettos, there would be two extremes:
 * highlighting volunteer contributions on MediaWiki history: could only be very high level (as your stub currently is);
 * filling in the "assignee" field on bugzilla for hundreds of particularly important bugs: very atomic, not super-readable.

As an aside, it's easy to find the conversation you probably had in mind and I'm not sure the person meant to depreciate volunteer work, rather the opposite.
