On our various modules pages (the largest of which is at [1]), we provide

we switch to providing links to Mozillians profiles?

Can we just store the modules membership in LDAP or some other machine
readable location (if not inside mozilla-central for relevant modules) and
have a web page pull from that? Yes, it introduces process and overhead.
But, module membership is the cornerstone of trust and giving automated
agents access to the module membership [in a way that can be correlated to
accounts] enables all kinds of nifty auditing possibilities. I believe this
would help enable the verification actions proposed by Brendan and Andreas
in their recent blog post [1].
Do all module owners have LDAP accounts? If yes, and we assume/enforce that
this will be the case going forward, then I think this is a good idea.
I do not believe this is currently guaranteed. I got commit access (and
therefore an LDAP account) significantly after being Chat Peer (not
Owner, but I'd imagine you want to do the same thing since both are
listed on that page). In fact the Peer of Chat/IRC
(https://wiki.mozilla.org/Modules/All#Sub_Modules_3) still doesn't have
commit access.
(Apparently this is a rare situation as when I filed for commit access
people were very surprised that I was a peer w/o it. This could probably
be fixed via process of ensuring that any Owner/Peer has commit access.)
