That's funny, at the bottom of https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/releases/tag/v5.13 there's a contributor called "type". I didn't know releases could have contributors.

"In the "Describe this release" field, type a description for your release. If you @mention anyone in the description, the published release will include a Contributors section with an avatar list of all the mentioned users. Alternatively, you can automatically generate your release notes by clicking Generate release notes." https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/releasing-projects-on-github/managing-releases-in-a-repository

Ah it must be because we have "Author/creators now have an @type of Person or Organization" in there.

Ok, I put backticks around @type. Fixed.

And it's a potentially interesting feature!
