Martin v. Löwis <mar...@v.loewis.de> added the comment:

I don't know how Doc ACKS is maintained, but I think the devguide is fine as it 
stands, whether or not Doc ACKS is preserved or not. People should put 
themselves into Misc/ACKS if they made a contribution, period.

If people need to be acknowledged separately for contributing to the 
documentation, I think only major contributions (such as writing the 
documentation for a yet-undocumented module) should be explicitly acknowledged.

I think this all started from the documentation having initially Guido van 
Rossum given as its sole author, and then later Fred Drake. So Doc/ACKS.txt may 
have been an attempt to correct the impression that these two are the authors, 
but I think it went into the wrong direction (eventually leading to the 
creation of issues such as this one)
