Developer section in pom

[laeubi]

We have a developer section in the pom that seems outdated/incomplete:

<developers>
<developer>
	<name>Igor Fedorenko</name>
	<organization>Sonatype</organization>
	<organizationUrl>http://www.sonatype.com</organizationUrl>
</developer>
<developer>
	<name>Tobias Oberlies</name>
	<organization>SAP</organization>
	<organizationUrl>http://www.sap.com</organizationUrl>
</developer>
<developer>
	<name>Jan Sievers</name>
	<organization>SAP</organization>
	<organizationUrl>http://www.sap.com</organizationUrl>
</developer>
</developers>

If we want to keep this, could it be automatic updated? Should we list every contributor (also historic?) and should we update as part of committer election?

As per https://maven.apache.org/pom.html#Developers "A good rule of thumb is, if the person should not be contacted about the project, they do not need to be listed here" so committers only.

What do you think about simply pointing to https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/technology.tycho/who without listing people explicitly?
