Subject: [PATCH] doc: Improve command to generate list of authors for release
 notes

- Remove dependency on sed (sed was overkill when you can just add plain
  text to the git log --format command)
- Sort resulting list of authors alphabetically (case-insensitive)
- Provide an example of how to only generate authors between versions
