I did something similar. I've sprinkeled the captions with "XXX contributors"
at suitable moments in time.
A challenge with this work is to have the details spread out in time
appropriately so that they don't appear too crowded or leave extended periods
of "silence" ... so I wrote a script to show the number of days delta between
two captions, then sorted them and iteratively inserted more facts that
shortened the longest gaps. =) It's good to have a massive amount of random
source data to take from, the dashboard: https://curl.se/dashboard.html
The current status is that the longest gap is now only 72 days, with only
three gaps 70 days or longer left:
Top-5 gaps in number of days before the event:
72 - August 12 2009: 132 command line options
71 - December 5 2001: curl 7.9.2
71 - April 2009: added the cmake build
69 - April 12 2013: curl 7.30.0
68 - March 22 2012: curl 7.25.0 (release 127)
(currently at 241 captions, I just copied my current list to the wiki page)
