I did something similar. I've sprinkeled the captions with "XXX contributors" at suitable moments in time.
A challenge with this work is to have the details spread out in time appropriately so that they don't appear too crowded or leave extended periods of "silence" ... so I wrote a script to show the number of days delta between two captions, then sorted them and iteratively inserted more facts that shortened the longest gaps. =) It's good to have a massive amount of random source data to take from, the dashboard: https://curl.se/dashboard.html
The current status is that the longest gap is now only 72 days, with only three gaps 70 days or longer left:
