Since the Apache Flume PMC was dissolved in March 2024, the project has been maintained by the Apache Logging Services PMC. This PR removes the <developers> list from flume-parent/pom.xml: instead of carrying a stale copy, the POM now inherits the developer list from logging-parent.

Following apache/logging-parent#490, the inherited list consists of just two virtual entries, dev@logging.apache.org and security@logging.apache.org, plus those active developers that prefer to be mentioned by name.

To make sure nobody loses their credit, all contributors that are absent from the Git history are now listed on the team.adoc page of the website:

  • The full roster of the dissolved Flume PMC (33 people, cross-checked against the flume LDAP group and committees-retired.json). The roster is split into the members that joined Logging Services and those that retired with the Flume PMC, and an asterisk marks the people that do not appear in the Git history.
  • The patch authors of the SVN and pre-Apache era. Due to the process used to migrate the project from SVN to Git, their work is credited only in From: lines of commit messages, so they do not appear in any contributor list generated from Git.

I only became a maintainer during the 2024 merger, so please review the two lists above with particular care, in case anyone is missing or misattributed.

Since the dissolution of the Flume PMC, the project is maintained by the
Logging Services PMC, so the `<developers>` element of `logging-parent`
applies to Flume as well.

Contributors that are not recorded in the Git history (the dissolved
Flume PMC and patch authors of the SVN and pre-Apache era) are now
credited on the "Team" page of the website, so their names are not
lost.
