Comment (by arthuredelstein):

 Replying to [comment:9 traumschule]:

 Thank you for looking into this, traumschule! :)

 > Shall we also show the email address?

 No, I don't think people should be rewarded for their efforts with spam.
 :)

 > Should the list be sorted alphabetically instead?

 Yes, I like this idea. I don't think we should try to separate "authors"
 from "contributors" because the distinction is unclear.

 > Should it link projects that are part of the bundle like tor and PTs?

 I think so!

 > My instinctive answer is to add an AUTHORS / CONTRIBUTORS file to each
 repository and list the projects with a link to git at the end.

 There are a lot of Tor Browser-related repositories, so we'll need to look
 at committers of all sorts.  Also, many people have contributed very
 important ways, including design, translation, testing, admin, community
 building, documentation, metrics, etc. We should give all people involved
 credit for their efforts because they help make Tor Browser possible.
 Also, I would like to give credit to our Mozilla collaborators who have
 contributed so much to our anti-tracking and cross-compilation efforts.

 And, given that Tor Browser is the product that most people download, I
 would propose including contributors to core Tor as well. Let's be
 inclusive as we can!

 We could consider adding some (brief) information about what each person
 has done. Such as "design", "metrics", "Tor Browser", "tor", "Spanish
 translation", etc.
