+Since about 2012 we have been asking contributors to sign the Python
+Contributor Agreement. The part following names above records evidence
+of that using the codes:
+
+A. CPython API (or checked in a CPython PR) at <date>.
+B. checked in bugs.python.org at <date>.
+C. self-reported at <date> (e.g. reply on GitHub).
+X. last search unsuccessful at <date>.
+
+Blank and X mean we don't know, not that the contributor hasn't signed.
