I'd have thought you'd have registered your dismay by putting a ! at the
end of that sentence.

You and I know that many of those names were included in the sourceforge
developer list because they were checking out and testing stuff rather
than submitting anything.  It was much easier for those test folk to do
that by being a member of the developer list.

There were some really hard working folk in there like IanW, DaveE,
DanF.  Guys that hang around here a lot these days as well.  Most of
those early test folk do less of it now because there is a much wider
range of folk who have access, machines, and the willingness to test.

Now the anon checkout serves that function much more easily and without
the headaches associated with the older sourceforge system.  You must
remember that page full of stuff you had to enter and click in order to
get them registered.  I do because I registered at least a third of
those.  No need for any of it now.

You also know that there were a number of folk on that list who did
neither commit nor checkout.  Some made great promises of documents but
then got to busy building their machines to write up anything.
