I was thinking of a wiki so it could be popuplated by the developers.
We don't seem to be good at updating the main web site with content that
requires coordination.

Well, I imagine this could get pretty complex. For example, I assume
Tom's commits would show Red Hat, and 2nd Quadrants show 2nd Quadrant,
and there are some features that have multiple people associated with
the feature.
In fact, this is not going to fit in a single SQL table but will need to
join for multiple companies/contributors.
