FWIW, I vote strongly against having any contributor names in caps in the
release notes. It would be visually distracting, and it would make the
name look like the most important thing in the entry, while in point of
fact it's the *least* important. (Maybe not to the contributor, but
certainly to anybody else.)
For pretty much the same reason, I'm not in favor of small caps either.
Even assuming we can do that consistently (which I bet we can't; we
do not have all that much control over how web browsers render HTML),
it would be calling attention to itself, which is exactly not the result
I think we should be after.
