Thanks for this cleanup Jan.

I'm not sure how useful the date of joining is.  It's not a proxy for who
is active, which is more useful but also hard to capture.  Perhaps we could
link to BlackDuck's "OpenHub" (formerly oholoh.net or something like that;
it was a terrible name I always typo'ed)
https://www.openhub.net/p/solr/contributors/summary
https://www.openhub.net/p/lucene/contributors/summary
Note: I went there and realized they weren't aware of our move to GitHub.
I'm in the process of updating this info for Lucene and Solr on OpenHub.
So depending on when you view this and how long it takes them, what you see
could be incomplete.

Cheers,
~ David
