It is good to make the contributors list up-to-date, but what is the
benefit to move it to the www tree? And where is the source file?
I think issue we have for the list is that this sort of information
is scattered in the doc/www tree and the scattered information is
difficult to maintain (remember a case of the mirror site list). So
I think the direction we should go is to have a directory for the
developers, build a structure to pick up necessary information from
it, and leave the maintenance to each developer (like pgpkey).
Maintaining such a directory in an HTML page is not a good idea---if
we have active maintainers of the list it will work, but it will not
last long unfortunately. Since I could not find the source file of
your proposed team.html I am not sure how this page was generated,
but if it was done by hand let's take account of the maintenance
issue first.
