I _quickly_ skimmed through EPL-2.0 and I could not see where the license
would force a Contributor to be non-anonymous. I can see how license
enforcement and more importantly identification of “Licensed Patents” could be
an issue in practice, if Contributors remain anonymous though.
So, IMHO something like “© contributors to project X” should be OK, but you
might complicate things later on.
BTW, for a standardised way of marking your own code with copyright and
license info, I would recommend you check out https://reuse.software/
