# Generated release notes credit you for Copilot pull requests

When you generate release notes for a new release, the generated notes include a list of pull requests merged since the last release. For more information about automatically generating release notes, see [our docs](https://docs.github.com/repositories/releasing-projects-on-github/automatically-generated-release-notes).

Now, if a pull request created with Copilot cloud agent has been merged, the developer who asked Copilot to open the pull request gets credit alongside `@copilot`

:

**Before:** Add`create_feature_flag`

MCP tool by`@copilot`

**After:** Add`create_feature_flag`

MCP tool by`@monalisa`

with`@copilot`

This means you get recognition for the work you do with Copilot cloud agent, even when the agent opens the pull request on your behalf.

This is available now for all repositories on GitHub and all plans.
