Yes, I know. I do not doubt if your activity would change.
The matter I am concerned about is simply moving the contributors
list to an HTML page would not help to reuse/centralize such
scattered information (for example, we have some duplicated
information in pgpkeys-*.sgml and the committers-guide, too). To me,
your proposed change is to update the list (yes, this is great.
thanks a lot!) but there is no obvious reason to move all of the
related information in the source file to the www tree.

Could you elaborate this? As mentioned in the previous mail, I think
this information should be in an independent database file, not
belong in either article or an HTML page in the www tree.
