GitHub's auto-generated "New Contributors" section was dropped when grouping release notes by conventional commit type.
Root Cause
The
serialize()method filtered out lines without achangeobject. New contributor lines haveis_new_contributor=Truebutchange=None, so they were discarded during grouping.Changes
models/release_notes.py: Collect new contributor lines in separate list, emit as dedicated section after type-grouped changestests/test_release_notes.py: Add tests for grouped and non-grouped casesBefore/After
Before:
After:
The section now appears after all change groups but before Authors/Reviewers, matching GitHub's convention.
