Add all active team members as developers

[ppkarwasz]

This change modifies the POM file and adds all the active Apache Logging Services team members as developers in the order:

• PMC Chair
• PMC Member
• Committer

Since jobs come and go and people forget to update the POM file, when they change affiliation, all the entries:

• Use the @apache.org e-mail.
• Use https://github.com/sponsors/<userId> as URL, which is redirected automatically to https://github.com/<userId>/ if the user does not have a GitHub Sponsors profile.
• Use The Apache Software Foundation as organization.

@ppkarwasz, I am against this change:

1. Roles come and go. Why do we follow a role-based ordering? (Want to appear at the top?)
2. My organization is not ASF and I don't want to use my @apache.org email address either. (WTF?)
3. I want to point to my personal home page, not some ASF/GitHub facade.
4. adds all the active Apache Logging Services team members Why? This is "a subproject of ALS", not "the ALS project". Why do we need to list here the name of individuals who never ever done anything for logging-parent and/or Log4j?

I am fine with removing temporal organization, roles, timezone entries – this will pretty much ensure sustainability. Though I prefer to respect to author's choice of id, name, email, and url.

@vy,

I was planning to start a thread on dev@logging and point to this PR, but I forgot the former. 😉
Your remarks are all valid and I will address them after I post on the mailing list.

I started a thread on dev@logging.

1. Roles come and go. Why do we follow a role-based ordering? (Want to appear at the top?)

I see the <developers> section as a prioritized contact list. The person to contact for the latest release is the PMC Chair, when his term is up, someone else takes his place.

I don't have any evidence that the <developers> section was ever used to contact a developer or any other purpose, so this is pure speculation.

2. My organization is not ASF and I don't want to use my @apache.org email address either. (WTF?)
3. I want to point to my personal home page, not some ASF/GitHub facade.

We probably should remove the organization everywhere.

One of the reasons this is a draft, is to allow team members to recheck and update the data they provide. The e-mail and URL are "safe" default with a -pom suffix to the Apache e-mail to help identifying the source of the data.

BTW: This PR must not be entirely futile, since it drove your attention to the fact logging-parent is already using your @apache.org e-mail.

4. adds all the active Apache Logging Services team members Why? This is "a subproject of ALS", not "the ALS project". Why do we need to list here the name of individuals who never ever done anything for logging-parent and/or Log4j?

If we list the people "responsible" for our artifacts, that list includes also Log4cxx and Log4net developers. Some Log4j releases were validated thanks to their votes.

I think that this should not be a list of copyright holders or maintainers that are also copyright holders. We could retrieve such a list from Git, but it might be inaccurate.

I am fine with removing temporal organization, roles, timezone entries – this will pretty much ensure sustainability. Though I prefer to respect to author's choice of id, name, email, and url.

I completely agree with you. This is a draft and it will not be merged unless people agree on their data.
