Alternative PR title: "baby's first node script"
Description
What if every release in this repo actually had the "contributors" footer, rather than just bare author names on the listed commits?
This completely redoes the release notes script/action to use the GitHub API to achieve just that, with commit author names swapped out for mentions. Since bot accounts cannot be mentioned, they are linkified manually instead.
I feel like this could conceivably provide extra motivation for someone capable to become a contributor...?
I know it would at least feed my ego more to see my face†, not just my name, on a release's credits‡.
† Well, it's not my physical face, but it's the face I choose to represent myself online, so... analogy still stands!
‡ I already get this on every release here because I'm the one doing the releases, so this isn't a factor in my wanting to do this, to be clear!
This is primarily designed to be run via GitHub Actions, but it can still be ran locally. Without configuration, it makes unauthenticated API requests to the base repo to fetch commit details.

Testing steps
Look at https://github.com/AprilSylph/XKit-Rewritten/actions/runs/22062698062.
In all seriousness, I expect this to be heavier on code review than my other PRs, since I barely know what I'm doing here.
