I would suggest listing them only until we publish the release they were a manager for and then we memorialize their role in the major version as part of its history and start the listing anew. That limits the size to around 6.

I think there are a few things here.

For specifically being listed on the contributors page, that would be a
discussion for the contributor committee, as Daniel says
(contributors(at)postgresql(dot)org).

For the release notes, that's likely a discussion on -hackers/-docs in
terms of how we would want to denote that. I know that Peter spends a
fair bit of time compiling the list of all contributors to a major
release for the release notes, though we haven't broken out folks on
their roles in that (outside of who authored a feature).
