Matthias J. Sax commented on KAFKA-7131:
----------------------------------------
No this part. The ticker refers to this:
{noformat}
- Include a paragraph in the announcement email like: "According to git
shortlog <number_of_contributors> people contributed to this release:
<contributors>" where:
- number_of_contributors is determined via `git shortlog -sn --no-merges
<previous_release_tag>..<current_release_tag> | wc -l` (eg `git shortlog -sn
--no-merges 0.8.2.2..0.9.0.0 | wc -l`)
- contributors is determined via: `git shortlog -sn --no-merges
<previous_release_tag>..<current_release_tag> | cut -f2 | tr '\n' ',' | sed -e
's/,/, /g'` (eg `git shortlog -sn --no-merges 0.8.2.2..0.9.0.0 | cut -f2 | sort
--ignore-case | tr '\n' ',' | sed -e 's/,/, /g'`)
- Template (maybe update Scala versions accordingly):{noformat}
Ie, the script should generate the template will filled information about
number of contributors and list of contributors. This allows the release
manager to c&p the email text and send out the email without running the
command manually and c&p the information into the template.

> Reporter: Matthias J. Sax
> Assignee: bibin sebastian
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: newbie
>
> When a release is finalized, we send out an email to announce the release.
> Atm, we have a template in the wiki
> ([https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/Release+Process|https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/Release+Process]).
> However, the template needs some manual changes to fill in the release
> number, number of contributors, etc.
> Some parts could be automated – the corresponding commands are document in
> the wiki already.
