Aside from that issue, at least the committers are very consistent in putting a thanks in the commit message and names/email in the THANKS file. One improvement would be to do something like Scintilla does [1] on their website, though it would be tedious to maintain unless it was automated.
Yes thats a good idea. And the history is easier to maintain than just those who contributed to the latest release.
Good idea. We could add a page "Thanks" which has the contents of the THANKS file from SVN. So there is no need to maintain both lists. I'll set up this page on Sunday (no time until then).
Done. There is a new page link "Thanks" in the sidebar next to "Authors". The current Thanks page is simply filled with the contents of the THANKS file from SVN, synced daily. It breaks the page layout as the ChangeLog site does. This sucks but isn't the biggest problem ever I'd say. We could need a ReST/ChangeLog to PmWiki syntax converter (in PHP) :D.
