Re: Blender 2.93 Released!

Hi Ryan,
Are you talking about an add-on in particular? There are two related but
separate topics in your email:

1. Contributors credit
The script that generates the credits [1] is indeed be skipping the add-on
repositories.

2. Release notes
It is the responsibility of any developer that contributes code, to
document the changes and mention them in the (wiki) release notes [2]. If
an add-on maintainer needs wiki access they can contact me directly via
email or as dfelinto in blender.chat.

[2] - https://wiki.blender.org/wiki/Reference/Release_Notes/2.93/Add-ons
