You could create the contributors file modeled from the DocBook book with the 
<authorgroup> info.

Put the Doc Team members as authors, and everyone else as editors. If 
members/authors want themselves labeled with the different guides they have 
contributed to, then they can add it in an <authorblurb>. How would something 
like this work out?
