Really happy with the latest release of #GitReleaseManager, version 0.19.0. It includes the ability to include info about the contributors to a release, including who created the issues, and who solved them via a Pull Request. See link for example, or check image below: github.com/GitTools/Git...

Screenshot of a GitHub release that uses the new functionality in GitReleaseManager to include contributor information. Two sections are highlighted by red boxes. The first shows information about the issue that was created, along with the title and who created the issue, and then information about who solved it in which pull request. The second box shows all the avatars of the people that contributed to the release.

Otherwise seem like a dependabot issue 😞
