Revise contributors list to a versioned-over-time list #355

Closed nspark closed 4 years ago

For clarity and historical accuracy, we should update the contributors list to be versioned (e.g., 1.5, 1.4...) and preserve affiliations at the time of the release.

Looking at the current PR, this appears to be an add-only list. What are your thoughts for handling when people leave the effort or move between organizations?

nspark commented 4 years ago

I think listed affiliations should represent the contributor's affiliation at the time the time of their contribution. If a contributor moves between organizations during a release, then the listed affiliation should probably be their "final" affiliation. If a person stops contributing to OpenSHMEM, they will not be listed in future versions of the specification.

Examples:

How does that sound to you?
