What I would like to see is who, when, how made it.
People worked on it {Release manager, Teams (coders, packagers,
documents writers, artists, testers) and all numerous upstream
projects. Tools used to build and test.
Features included.

Yup, that's a good point. We always thank "all contributors" but should
mention tools there too. The list of features - that's what we work on
on here, help VERY MUCH appreciated as it's not easy and a lot of work:
http://ietherpad.com/12-1-release-notes

Making a list of people and upstream projects - well, if you think you
can do it, please do... It is possible but quite some work.

:)

Being specific is fading with distance from project and release manager.

Teams will be named as teams with links to their pages, and reader will be
pointed to collective list of teams in the wiki, just in case we miss someone.

Numerous upstream projects will stay just that, numerous upstream projects.
We can try to list web pages of all software included in openSUSE in one or
more wiki pages and refer to http://en.opensuse.org/Upstream_projects , which
should be relatively easy task to extract from rpm files.

Someone with access to all files, please step up. What is needed is:
Project name - home page.

There is also a category of special thanks to people that did big things,
which can be given outside release notes, as series of interviews with
prominent guys. I have in mind custom interviews bound to topic, like systemd,
Tumbleweed, OBS, Packman, Gnome and other major components. In those
interviews they can give attribution to other people involved.

There is secondary effect of such interviews, they will keep attention to
openSUSE longer then just release days.
