I don't have a strong opinion about whether the reviewers ought to be
listed all together or with each feature, but I do feel very strongly
that they should be given some kind of credit.

Reviewing is often not all that much fun (compared with authoring) and
as Josh points out, giving proper credit has a "bang for buck"
incentive value that is hard to argue with.
