[QGIS-Developer] Visual Changelog: ready? Move to Website? Or Not?

[Andreas Neumann]

Dear Vincent,

Thank you for letting us know about this.

There is a clear distinction between sponsors and donors on one hand 
(listed both at https://www.qgis.org/en/site/about/sponsorship.html) who 
contribute their funds to the discretion of the QGIS.ORG project and 
other financial contributors who fund a developer or company directly to 
develop a specific feature. Such a contribution is often unknown to us 
at QGIS.ORG and the developer should take care about giving credits in 
the visual changelog.

For this particular improvement I can't find a corresponding entry in 
the QGIS 3 visual changelog at 
https://www.qgis.org/en/site/forusers/visualchangelog30/index.html. 
Perhaps it was forgotten to add this new improvement? Nyall - do you 
know more about this?

Vincent: we will definitely list you as a contributor in the visual 
changelog - but first we'll have to find the corresponding entry - we 
need the help from Nyall here.

Greetings,
Andreas
QGIS.ORG treasurer
