in repository https://gitbox.apache.org/repos/asf/logging-parent.git

commit 5dd988508774e590d80fc1502bc4ff8be15e02cf
Author: Piotr P. Karwasz <[email protected]>

    Simplify `<developers>` section to stable team entries
    
    Replace the fixed list of named PMC members with two role-based team
    entries: the PMC (`[email protected]`) for development matters and
    the Security Team (`[email protected]`) as the security
    contact. Both carry the ASF organization, a team/security page URL, and
    a free-form role.
    
    A hand-maintained roster is always incomplete, its contact details go
    stale in immutable releases, and naming individuals implies a support
    obligation they have not signed up for. Git history and the project team
    page already track contributors accurately.
    
    The section cannot be dropped entirely: Maven Central requires at least
    one developer with a name and email. The two meta-entries satisfy that
    while pointing at durable, monitored channels. `<developers>` is
    inherited by child projects, so a comment documents that these entries
    should not be overridden downstream.

downstream.
