We had a page for this a while back where students put their names next to
tasks. It wasn't very workable as people rarely updated it.

I agree that it's superfluous and in all honesty, the only people who need
to record their contributions are those applying for Ubuntu membership. In
that case the best advice is to suggest students record the contributions
but leave it to their personal administration.

Cheers,
