edk2$ find . -name Contributions.txt | wc -l
38

Ouch!  (At least they are all identical.)

I found the MdePackage instance (google brought me there), and didn't
look to see if there were more....

These should definitely be replaced with a single top-level instance.
Any modules that require different content
can add a specialized one, but since they are all identical, that is a
current requirement.

Once the content of changes is agreed upon, I'll update my patch to do
this as well.
