I don't think this will be very rewarding, as a lot of very important contributors aren't listed in this file (if I remember correctly, Alexander Viro, the guru of VFS-design, is one example, all the people behind my all-time favourite project, the Standford-checker, is another example), hence this file is pretty useless.
