I have two concerns here. First, not all components maintain a contributor list in addition to the committer list, so any contributor list would be inherently inaccurate. Secondly, how do you define a contributor? Someone who posted a suggestion to the mailing list? Someone who points out a typo? Someone who provided a 1-line patch? A 100-line patch? Without a concrete definition, it's hard to know when we need to update project.xml when making a change. Therefore, I'd prefer to just list committers, if we need a list at all. -- Martin Cooper How did you create the "Emeritus" section? > Is this list based on the (non) commits in the last year? > > I ask as e.g. adammurdoch is still on the list but I cant find a commit. > I have no problem with him, but if we would like to have a correct > status than this is a failure, isnt it?
