question on changelog for Bigtop repo
http://incubator.apache.org/guides/releasemanagement.html#notes-change-log
I noticed that commits are going in without a changelog. Just wanted
to bring this to your collective attention - many projects (esp the
hadoop related ones) include a "CHANGES.txt" file, e.g. from whirr:
https://github.com/apache/whirr/blob/trunk/CHANGES.txt
which highlights each commit as well as the author & committer.
You might want to consider adding this, either that or generate as
part of your release process.

How will you generate the list of contributors? Maintaining a
changelog records that information at the point of commit.

I was planning to generate one at release time from the svn log - I'll open
a bug for that.
