Maven based projects I am involved with usually keep the "source of truth" list of committers in pom.xml, and have the committers page auto-generated from that list like [1].
I think tracking the list of contributors is optional. There is no formal definition (as opposed to committership). We (in HBase) are using the jira field for example for this so that people who works on a jira ticket can assign the ticket to themselves. Privileges to create a wiki page is similar.
