Hi,
If you'd like to create an overall shout-out, then go for it. The
Subversion project does this, and uses the same file to track partial
commit (as Mynewt has adopted). See:
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/subversion/trunk/COMMITTERS
Apache Flex does this a little differently and names people by release:
https://github.com/apache/flex-sdk/blob/develop/CONTRIBUTORS
(Note this includes people who are not committers, the idea behind it was to
encourage them to become so.)
But it not a requirement and each PMC can decide on how to or not do it.
This seems good to me.
At some point it seems like we'll want MAINTAINERS, as there is a fair
amount of specialization (an OS is technically very broad.) But I guess
we can start breaking things into sub-projects when we hit that problem.

(*) As an example, net/nimble is the _first_ open-source Bluetooth stack
(both Host & Controller) for MCUs. Given contributor bandwidth, IMO it
makes sense to bundle governance in with Mynewt, but over time I could
imagine this being MCU agnostic and being its own Apache project in the
Mynewt ecosystem.
