As pulled from PEP 512:

Traditionally the Misc/ACKS file [20] has been managed by hand. But thanks to Git supporting an author value as well as a committer value per commit, authorship of a commit can be part of the history of the code itself.

As such, manual management of Misc/ACKS will become optional. A script will be written that will collect all author and committer names and merge them into Misc/ACKS with all of the names listed prior to the move to Git. Running this script will become part of the release process.

The script should also generate a list of all people who contributed since the last execution. This will allow having a list of those who contributed to a specific release so they can be explicitly thanked.
