A wiki page feels like a more appropriate place to me, because generally
you want to know who the current owner is, rather than who the owner was
at the time your tree is from (if you're looking at the GHC 7.4 tarball,
or if you've gone back in the git history).
Updating a wiki page would also feel lighter-weight to me, so perhaps it
would be easier to keep up-to-date.
We might also have owners of things that aren't in the code tree, e.g.
the website, trac, and the mailing lists.
Either way, perhaps the best way forward would be for someone to bring
http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Contributors
up-to-date. We could also rename it to Owners if we stick with a wiki
page. It's currently linked as "The GHC Team" from the
http://www.haskell.org/ghc/
site, and as "GHC Contributors" from the
http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/
site.
Thanks
Ian
