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?
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.

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.
