How do you define "contributor"? Does someone who submits a patch to correct
a typo in a comment get their name on this list? If not, where does the
boundary lie? This is similar to the @author discussion, and the questions I
just asked are part of the reason that we decided, long ago, to not use
@author tags. I'd just as soon not reintroduce the issue in this guise.

I haven't had time to even start catching up with the thread that spawned
this one, but note that AFAIK we cannot give attribution to companies for
contributions to the project, due to the nature of the foundation.
