Thanks Austin. (All on ghc-devs: do chime in.)
* There is some overlap with the [wiki:Contributors] page, but I think that
serve a purpose.
- [wiki:Committers] is person-focused
- [wiki:Contributors] is role-focused
If that's our intent, perhaps we should move all the person-focused stuff to
Committters (and re-title it), leaving only the role-focused stuff on
Contributors
(and re-title that too).
Does that make sense? We certainly don't want a duplicate list of committers
on both.
* I think it's right to list email addresses (though please yell if you object).
We do need to know how to get in touch with committers.
* I like knowing real names, locations, and affiliations. We are an embodied
group of colleagues, not avatars. Again, yell if you object.
If there's a consensus on these latter two points we should maybe say in the
"what it means to be a committer" preamble, so that future committers know.

| Sounds good to me. I've found the same info useful. In fact, just
| yesterday I had added the list of committers I assembled to the
| Contributors page:
|
| http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Contributors
|
| I've gone ahead and created a Committers page with more info. It also
| lets people know who to contact (me) if they would like access, and
| should help people find out who to talk to when they need help.
|
| http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Committers
|
| I went ahead and filled out most of the details on the people I'm
| aware of, except for email. I'm not sure what you'd like to publicly
| put out there on Trac.
|
| Developers - If you'd like, please take the time to fill in your email
| and amend anything I got wrong (e.g. I just put pretty much everyone's
| "committer date" as this month.)
|
| (Also, forgive me for looking into most peoples affiliations and
| listing them here, but it does help individual identification - and
| it's a decently diverse set of places, which is neat in its own
| right!)
