I think we use Misc/ACKS for code+docs contribution like this one, Doc/ACKS.txt being used for doc-only changes. This second file is not comprehensive nor always used though, so maybe it should be superseded by the former.

Nadeem is already in Misc/ACKS. I don't know what the policy is for Doc/ACKS.txt, but since he added himself in the patch, I saw no good reason for reverting the change. I added myself because I assumed the policy for Doc/ACKS.txt to be the same as the policy for Misc/ACKS - if you submit a patch, add your name. Looking at the devguide, though, I can't find any mention of Doc/ACKS.txt. +1 for merging these files by the way. Sounds good to me. The intro at the top of Misc/ACKS is pretty broad, thanking people for all contributions (not just code). Unless there's some plan to split the documentation off into a separate repository, I can't think of any reason not to merge them.

If we can get Misc/ACKS in a format that is includable in reST, I would be +1 for a merger. (That way we can still list acknowledgements in the docs.)
