subject says most of it :)
If you're unsure about what to provide for certain elements have a look at the maven docs [1] or as an example the maven2 root pom [2]. The idea is that this information is used in the (auto-generated) maven site documentation for all blocks by default, meaning that we are all listed as developer for all blocks. This element can then be overriden at the module level if necessary - for example if we find that certain modules are really only maintained/developed by a few developers then we could reflect this in the modules' pom.
