The document is already too large and people come and go over time. Maintaining that list becomes time sink, absorbing time better spent on reviewing and polishing their patches rather than their names in that list. Rather than keeping a stale list forever, at some point I decided to trim and start afresh, perhaps mentioning very notable contribution from people there if there were any around the time the message goes out to the list, which hasn't happened.

And with Git Rev News, I probably do not have to worry about it too much, I hope ;-)
