How to Document Contributions
Add the following in the global comment for each contribution:
For those cases this is not done, please add to this page a short line for each push into MariaDB that includes code from contributors not employed by the MariaDB Foundation or the MariaDB Corporation. The purpose of this is to properly track that all such patches are submitted either under MCA or BSD-new and to ensure that the developer gets credit for his work.

Binary log writing speed was improved by moving checksum calculations out of the global binlog mutex. This is a contribution by Kristian Nielsen (MDEV-31273)
New system variable max_binlog_total_size enables binary log purging when the total size of all binary logs exceeds the specified threshold. The implementation is based on the patch from Percona (MDEV-31404)
FULL_NODUP is a new value for the binlog_row_image system variable. It essentially works like FULL, that is all columns are included in the event, but it takes less space, because the after image omits columns that were not changed by the UPDATE statement, and have same values as in the before image. This is a contribution from Alibaba (MDEV-32589)
