You might want to consider the Changes DTD we use in Cocoon to keep
track of contributions: here is an example of usage of our DTD.

<changes title="History of Changes">
 <devs>
  <person name="Bill Gates" email="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" id="BG"/>
  ...
 </devs>

 <release version="52.3.4" date="to be determined">
  <action dev="BG" type="add" due-to="John Smith"
due-to-email="[EMAIL PROTECTED]">
   Added something but I don't know what it does.
  </action>
 </release>

 ...

</changes>

then this is transformed into HTML and placed on the web site for
reference.

We should have something like this for every xml.apache project.

Stefano.
