Hi Roland,
You can go at this two ways.
1) Go ahead and use the <contrib> element. There's no particular restriction on
the contents of this element, so there's nothing wrong with using it as you do.
2) Use the <personblurb> element, which is for additional information about a
person.
If you use <personblurb> you could do something like the following (I added
<personname>, which is required around <firstname> and <surname>):
<author>
<personname>
<firstname>Merida</firstname>
<surname>Archer</surname>
</personname>
<email>[email protected]</email>
<contrib>Developer</contrib>
<personblurb><para>2014 to present</para></personblurb>
</author>
<author>
<personname>
<firstname>Merida</firstname>
<surname>Archer</surname>
</personname>
<email>[email protected]</email>
<affiliation><orgname>Archery Inc.</orgname></affiliation>
<contrib>Developer</contrib>
<personblurb><para>2013 to 2014</para></personblurb>
</author>
