I think it should all go in the manual.  (Where people already have 
entries in contrib.texi, those may or may not sufficiently cover all the 
areas in which they have contributed.)

*But* the information in the manual should generally describe the logical 
areas in which someone contributed, not the names of particular files.  
("contributions to the MIPS port", for example, would seem a better 
description in the case currently under discussion.)  The details at the 
per-file level are covered by the ChangeLog files.
