In the charter on the Community Group site, it says: \"In the commit, if practical, this information should be in the form {Contributors: [\"@githubusername1\",\"@githubusername2\"]}.\"  The particular format Robin should provide.  The one we use is a very simple JSON object.  Tools could pick up incorrectly formatted text by flagging comments with usernames that aren't in the right form for manual processing.  So, \"@hendrix hates this idea.\" doesn't automatically make hendrix a contributor to it :)\r\n\r\nThe reason to specify it is that you need to know something about the format to be able to create tools that automate determining who the contributors are.  (In the W3C account information, users could provide their GitHub username so we can tell where they make GitHub contributions)."}}
