Then we should remove exactly how many lines, or listings of exact 
changes any developer did.

Items of importance are subjective and to favor one over the other isn't 
right (not that I am suggesting you are suggesting that).

Why not just a simple listing in general:

Alvaro Herrera - Auto vacuum work
Simon Riggs - PITR Work
Greg Stark - Tuple header work
Stefan K (not going to try and spell his name - Additions to psql 
autocomplete

...

Alternatively we could use the contributors list (currently developers 
list) as the definitive source and just provide a link.

Sincerely,

Joshua D. Drake
