There are existing tools that do what you suggest Raphael, mostly to put contributors into READMEs of projects but I am sure that could be abused to put it into a Markdown file that is included in the docs.
Apache also has a site that lists all PMC members etc (that I think uses some AJAX + a JSON file), so one could probably easily build a tool on top of that to regularly update a list for example. -J Am Do., 2.
