docs(release-process): credit the upstream reporter of a mirrored issue - #229
When merged, the release-process reference tells the release author to credit the upstream author of a mirrored issue (a title such as [Upstream #341] …) as its reporter. harvest-contributors.sh lists the maintainer who copied the issue as the reporter, and neither existing cross-check can show the real one. The maintainer's mention stays, because release-notes-status.sh requires every harvested login in the body.
Why
In the netresearch/ofelia v1.2.0 notes, netresearch/ofelia#316 ("[Upstream #341] Include last x lines of output in mail") was harvested as reported by the maintainer. The reporter is the author of mcuadros/ofelia#341 and was added by hand. netresearch/ofelia holds 72 issues with that title prefix, all authored by the maintainer, so every release that closes one has the same gap. The commit-author check in the same section does not reveal it, because the upstream reporter wrote no commit in the range.
The script stays unchanged: its header refuses to grep PR or issue bodies for #N, and resolving a cross-repository reference from a title would be the same kind of guess.
A repository that copies upstream issues records the maintainer who
copied them as the issue author, so harvest-contributors.sh lists that
maintainer as the reporter. The commit-author cross-check cannot show
the real reporter, who never appears in the commit range. Add an
under-credit case: credit the upstream issue's author with the full
reference and drop the maintainer's reporter credit.
Found in the netresearch/ofelia v1.2.0 notes: #316 ("[Upstream #341]")
was harvested as reported by the maintainer; the reporter is the
author of mcuadros/ofelia#341.

The release process guidance now covers mirrored upstream issues. It directs contributors to credit the upstream issue author with a full repository reference. It says to omit reporter credit for the copying maintainer unless they also reported the issue. It also notes that the existing checks do not detect this case.

Merge Risk: Low · up to f9041
The new release guidance can conflict with the existing credit check: following it may make the status script report missing credits for the copying maintainer. This affects only the release-notes workflow and can be resolved by documenting the expected flag or adjusting the check. It is a low-risk follow-up rather than a merge blocker.

Explanation
The description explains the change to the release-process reference: credit the upstream author of a mirrored issue instead of the maintainer who copied it. It gives a concrete example (netresearch/ofelia#316, v1.2.0 notes), the reason existing cross-checks miss the case, and why the script stays unchanged. It matches the file-level summary and the PR objectives.

- Line 347: Update the mirrored-issue guidance in the release process
documentation to match the behavior of release-notes-status.sh: upstream-author
credit does not satisfy the check for the copying maintainer. Document that the
check may report MISSING CREDITS and describe only a verified, supported way to
resolve or handle that result; do not imply an override or upstream lookup
unless the script supports it.

release-notes-status.sh requires every harvested login in the body, and the harvest lists the maintainer who mirrored the issue. Dropping that mention made the check report MISSING CREDITS. Keep it at the maintainer's change, or as the one who mirrored the issue.
