Emacs is not (heresy!) synonymous with GNU Emacs. Emacs has a longer (yes) and richer (yes) history than what you will find by grepping GNU Emacs logs. (But thanks to you and `grep' for showing that GNU Emacs has no record of a `contrib' subdir.) My point was that it is not only "these days" that a `contrib' subdir is used "for files contributed by people other than the immediate maintainers". That practice is nothing new. It has a very long history, including within Emacs.
