jQuery has the kindest, most warm hearted, whimsical release notes.
During the pandemic last year:
> We hope you’re staying healthy and safe while so many of us are stuck at home. With a virus ravaging the planet, we realize that jQuery may not be a high priority for you or the sites you manage. When you do have a moment, we recommend that you review this new version and upgrade.
Some fun:
> I’ve never gotten to say this on a jQuery release, but May the 4th be with you! A short time ago in a galaxy exactly like this one, we released jQuery 3.5.0.
Release notes are also very well thought out and their philosophy is to "move slowly and not break things". I admire that. They go to great extent to provide help about how to deal with breaking changes. Ends with a section thanking the contributors.

The world needs more of this. I'm tired of seeing tooltips that don't disappear and thus get in the way and long GC pauses on Firefox, because nobody bothered to test their bloated React app in Firefox.
Speaking of nice developers, Reaper DAW developers are giving away temp license and in return only asks the user to wear mask. Warmed my heart to see it.

Super nice people.
