There is no need shuffle this around IMO, this feels like some kind of solution in search of a problem, change for the sake of change, for what feels like some overbearing administrative system. We are people writing code after all, that's what should be reflected, not committees. My recollection of the general history is that developers (committers, PMC members) are in the `developers` section and that the `contributors` section was used for non-committers and non-PMC members, for folks that submit patches in Jira, or any other types of contributions. Then `changes.xml` came along and we started using that, and then, later, we had to invent our own custom changes system that no other project uses, and I have to remind myself how to use. Enough wasting time writing about this... -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
