This sounds like it could get really messy.  Once a feature goes in, it
becomes a collaboration between many people over time.  It sounds like
it would get into the same situation as our copyright headers in source
files (wildly incomplete).

This also has a tendency to just recognize feature adds, and not common
work.  Lack of or minimal contributions to common work by some
organizations is already a pretty big problem in various parts of OpenStack.
