Tooling Suggestion Checklist

• I have tried restarting my IDE and the issue persists.
• I have pulled the latest main branch of the repository.
• I have read and agree to Mocha's Code of Conduct and Contributing Guidelines
• I have searched for related issues and issues with the faq label, but none matched my issue.
• I want to provide a PR to resolve this

Overview

It'd be nice if our auto-generated release notes @ tagged contributors as thanks. Right now they just list the merged PR names + numbers + merge commits, nothing more.

Example: #5269 -> https://github.com/mochajs/mocha/releases/tag/v11.0.2. It would have been nice to give a shoutout to the four PR authors there.

Additional Info

We do this in typescript-eslint and people seem to appreciate it. Example: https://github.com/typescript-eslint/typescript-eslint/releases/tag/v8.17.0
