Subject: [PATCH] Added generations of contributors/sponsors in release notes

GitHub makes this kind of difficult, the best route seems to just scrape
the undocumented "sponsors_partial" page? Seems like a strange thing to
omit from the REST API.

At least contributors are relatively easy, thanks to GitHub's email ->
username REST API. Though this does result in an unbounded number of
REST queries...
