The Apache release guide is pretty reluctant about putting things into NOTICE because it places dependencies on downstream components. We for sure need a NOTICE entry for max mind, but I think most other packages are AL or MIT which don't require attribution. Rather, I think we need to preserve license files as part of the imported source directory. My non official opinion is that the license needs to be obviously associated with the relevant source files, such as being in the same directory .
