I think this is a great idea! I like the way Rust approaches this 
by listing the names of all contributors who helped for each 
release:

I run a tiny Vibe.d service that shows a list of all contributors 
for each Phobos module based on the git history.
It's integrated with dlang.org and visible at the bottom of each 
module e.g.
