For "others" you mean me?  At the moment there isn't really a whole lot 
of other people contributing; for 3.36 to 3.62-pre16 there are 12 
commits by other people and 389 commits from me (although I think there 
is a handful which are miscredited.)

Now, that obviously doesn't include any help people have given with the 
Wiki.

Part of the problem is that I really don't like writing documentation, 
and since I'm chronically overcommitted (and chronically spend too much 
time working on syslinux as it is) it's what gets put off.
