Hi All, Apache projects welcome many contributors. It is very unusual for any contributor to be named separately from others. For example, we don't name the original Drill developers, nor do we name the person who tirelessly worked to write the Drill docs and website. If the Wiki is healthy, many will contribute over time; it will be awkward to figure out who did more: more text? More commits? More answering the questions recorded in an edit?
We're on the committer's page: that's consistent with how Apache projects work.
