Pull request overview
Updates the repository’s Release Drafter configuration to improve release note structure by adding contributor-focused sections and reducing label overlap that can cause PRs to appear in multiple categories.
Changes:
- Added a
🌱 New Contributorsrelease-notes category keyed to thefirst-time-contributorlabel. - Simplified
autolabelerrules by removing broad file/title-based label triggers to reduce multi-category labeling. - Extended the release template to include a
## Contributorssection via$CONTRIBUTORS.

This updates release drafting to explicitly recognize first-time contributors and list all release contributors, while reducing duplicated PR entries across sections. PRs are now more likely to appear in one primary category instead of being repeated due to broad auto-label matches.
