humans.txt - credits for people?

Take a look at humanstxt.org. I got this is a tweet and was intrigued. It is described as

An initiative to know the creators of the website.

A TXT file that contains the information about the different people who have contributed to the web building.

Sort of like movie credits for websites. It's an interesting concept, but, how useful? How many of us stay behind to see who the "key grip" was. For that matter, how many of us know what a "key grip" does and does it matter for the movie? Except for a small group of insiders or enthusiasts, does anyone really care.

Now, knowing who is backing (i.e. financing) a web site can be an interesting thing to know. That, more than who designed it, will tell us about the motivations of the site and the likely biases in the site. Maybe what we need is a "money.txt" file in which all those backers of a site are listed? Now that would be interesting AND useful.
