It would be more correct English to use a singular contributer if there
is only one - the English all looked good to me.

My only thought was that it would be even better value (but a lot more
work!) if the message also said what the people are going to do in
Debian - eg what packages/teams/languages/activities they are
contributing to, --- eg

* A. N Other (anon), maintianing the blah package and part of the kernel
  team
* Winson Smith (pson), helping translate Debian into newspeak

that kind of thing. would add a bit more of a human element...
