I know the Foundation's got work underway to improve the affiliate
map from the member database, so it might be possible to have some
sort of automated job which proposes changes to a copyright holders
list in each project by running a query with the author and date of
each commit looking for new affiliations. That seems like it would
be hacky, fragile and inaccurate, but probably still more reliable
than expecting thousands of contributors to keep that information up
to date when submitting patches?
