Do I see the following (as a concept)?

<Contributors>
        <Contributor>
                <name> </name>
                <email> </email>
            <url> </url>
            <organization> </organization>
                <occupation> </occupation>
                <location> </location>
                <comments> </comments>
                <osexpertise> </osexpertise>
                <projects>
                        <project>
                                <contributions> </contributions>
                                <role> </role>
                        </project>
                </projects>
        </Contributor>
</Contributors>

I won't get into whether things should be elements or attributes just now.
This is just a concept, and similar to what is already in the Maven project
structure, if I recall Dion's demo correctly from CSS 2002.

The <role> value is intended to encode a community role such as Committer,
Release Manager (with release name), etc.

The <projects> element normalizes the information if there were to be a
central repository, as well as supporting sub-projects.
