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.

Absolutely agree.

> 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).

I think it's worth thinking about the roles which for a timeboxed period
requires an investment in time frequently matching that of an FTE (like CFM and
RMT). Thats admittedly a very arbitrary measurement, but I think in general
the discussion could be worth having, if only to settle on what we have today
being the preferred option.
