Yep it's a nice touch, and it can be pretty much automated with git, we use something like:

git log --pretty=tformat:%aN -s "${tag}.." |
grep -v <bots to ignore> |
sed 's/ / /g; s/--/-/g; s/.*/\0,/' |
sort -u | tr '\n' ' ' | sed -e "s/^/Contributions from: /g" -e "s/,\s*$/\n/g" | fold -w 72 -s |
sed -e "s/^/ /g" -e "s/\s*$//g"

This should indeed be a minimum standard. Some projects give a thanks to the contributors "too numerous to mention", but fear of forgetting a few people shouldn't stop them from naming as many as possible. IMO.
