Just a shy question. Is this comparable to the @author tag in the sources?

Information about one of the committers on this project. Derived from

Contributor:
Description of a person who has contributed to the project, but who does
not have commit privileges. Usually, these contributions come in the
form of patches submitted.

I can read the Maven docs. But my question was whether we will later have the same discussion about it as we had with the @author tag.

I just want to make sure we don't go forwards and than backwards again. That's wasted time we can save in adance.

We can interpret this whichever we want, but i suggest we don't go too
granular with assigning developers and contributors to each module.

So we can put a [email protected] in there as well?

I guess it is more comparable with the list we have in status.xml or at http://cocoon.apache.org/community/members.html.
