Folks,

*speaking* of being open about policies, I'm requesting comments on the 
Core Team's draft contributor listing policy:
http://developer.postgresql.org/index.php/ContributorListings

Here's what's changing from current practice:
1) period for dropping people who have not been around is set to 2 years.  
No explicit period was set before.

2) non-code contributors now get listed in the "Contributors" section, but 
are not eligible for the "Major Developers" section.  This is a compromise 
between previous practice (not listing non-code contributors at all) and 
what some people would like to see ("Major Contributors" with non-code 
contributors); I figure we'll revisit this policy in a year or so.

3) this will require a member of the WWW team to add "year contributed" and 
"comments" non-displaying fields to the web tool we manage the contributor 
listings with.  How long would that take to add?
