re-formatting CREDITS file

Hi, I'm currently working on some of the last steps in the next-generation PEAR installer, Pyrus, and have a few questions for PECL. One of the significant upgrades available with Pyrus is the pickle command now will generate a package.xml from scratch and make a release (the package command is still available for those who prefer to manage package.xml by hand). The pickle command relies upon a few files to do its magic, such as README CREDITS RELEASE-X.Y.Z However, the current format of the CREDITS file only contains names. Would it be possible for people to standardize the format of this file? The best would be: Full Name [handle] <email@example.com> (role) so for phar, my CREDITS file line would be: Gregory Beaver [cellog] <cellog@php.net> (lead) inactive devs can be noted like: Gregory Beaver [cellog] <cellog@php.net> (lead, inactive) The README file should contain summary as first line, description as the rest of the file, and RELEASE-X.Y.Z should contain the release notes (and X.Y.Z should be the version, pickle uses the newest version).
