I think this is overall a very good idea.  However, I think it should be 
called "about" and not "advocacy".  "about" is a web industry convention, and 
new people know to automatically go to "about" for stuff like press links, 
supporters, contact info, etc.

Some comments below.

Doesn't this duplicate the developer site portion?

We'll need to come up with some rules on who can appear here.  My thoughts:
1) Anyone who sponsors a full-time or 1/2 time developer;
2) Anyone who has sponsored a significant feature in the last 3 versions.
3) Anyone who contributed/runs an add-in project in recent use.

Definitely keep this.  I'll want to revise the form, but I currently get 5-10 
e-mails a day.  It's been very useful.

Which means I need to work on a general, non-version-specific presskit, eh?  
Give me some time after 8.0.

What is this?

Hmmm ... won't documentation be a top-level category?
