I think the log is fine at it is, since it serves a different
purpose.

What is the purpose? I don't remember why we started to keep the developer log in that format as I have never felt the need to go back and see who vouched for someone or who granted the commit rights in the end.

The list should be in addition to the log, not replacing it.

Resources we already have:

* https://devguide.python.org/developers/
*
https://bugs.python.org/user?%40action=search&iscommitter=1&%40pagesize=300&%40sort=username
* python-committers Subscribers List (but this is currently only
  for list admins to see - perhaps we could make that available
  to list members ?!)
* https://hg.python.org/committers.txt
* for the early days:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/python/cpython/e42b705188271da108de42b55d9344642170aa2b/Misc/HISTORY
  in combination with

https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/e42b705188271da108de42b55d9344642170aa2b/Misc/ACKS
  (in those times, there was no direct access to the repo
  and all patches had to go through the team around Guido)

I think it would also be a good idea to include core developers
of other Python implementations in such a document, in
separate sections, e.g. for Jython, IronPython, PyPy,
Stackless, etc.
