With regards to the release notes I'd lean toward (b); significant contributions getting bumped to co-author on specific patches covers (c) fairly well.

Basically except for topics or presentations deemed of poor taste or detrimental to the project anything should be allowed. Some kind of "this message was allowed because so-and-so has recently made the following significant contributions to the project". There are probably quite a few logistics to deal with down this path but a sponsor platform for shameless self-promotion for people making the project successful - something visible on an ongoing basis and not just once a year in a release note - is likely a very valuable to the contributor while fairly inexpensive to the project (i.e., some risk of reputation and some cost to setup the infrastructure).
