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.
