This file lists usernames from https://connect.symfony.com, not github.

@nicolas-grekas then it should not use the @ prefix as that makes GitHub treat them as GitHub mentions

Or put a zero-width space in between the @ and the username. @​wouterj 😉

Isn't it possible to use the Github handle instead?

Well, it is the reason why release notes have wrong links. Knowing it is a good start for fixing them.

By the way, not all contributors have a Symfony Connect account.

So, I checked the code, which is in symfony/gh
and I was wrong, this doesn't happen because of any link to SymfonyConnect, but because the committer isn't linked to their github account, as in https://api.github.com/repos/symfony/symfony/pulls/47979/commits

We have a simple heuristic in gh which is to not add the "@" prefix when the contributor contains a space. We're going to do the same in release notes. That's no 100% perfect but that's a bit better.
