How about preparing new page for the companies/vendors which have no 'committer' in jakarta? Just devide into the vendors.html and vendorlist.html. And make vendors.html for the vendors which employ the committers and vendorlist.html for the vendors which do not employ the committers. I really want to prepare the vendorlist.html with the list of the regions (Asia, US, Europe, etc.). Apache-Jakarta is suffering the shortage of the Asian vendors' support. If there will be no 'another page' which can complement the vendors.html, I oppose to your opinions (especially the requirement for *committership*).
