I want to get some feedback on some other changes I'd like to suggest:
on http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/volunteers.html (volunteer.xml) the current section order is:
Source Code Contributers
Documentation Contributers
Active Committers
Emeritus Committers
how about reordering the sections to Active Committers Emeritus Committers Source Code Contributers Documentation Contributers
I don't know if there's already some other convention on that, but developers are listed before contributers in project.xml, so it seems like a logical ordering. It also highlights those first who made very important contributions.
I noticed that a couple of active committers were not listed in the source code contributers! That will be fixed when I update the list. This includes James Mitchell, Joe Germuska and David M. Karr.***
*I'm grabbing all the author tags under /src. Should the same be done under contrib as well? The scope of files involved in src is already several hundred, so If that's required I'll do that seperately as a seperate item.
I think it would be good to mention the new policy on @author tags and that we're including people on the volunteer page in the documentation on how to help. Anyone have some good wording for that?

Quoting Paul Sundling <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
If the group was interested in removing all author tags and consolidating all the names onto volunteer.html I would be willing to make a tar of patches or whatever format is most convenient. If you're interested, let me know if that would be useful and I'll try to give you 24 hour or less tournaround time. I'd probably have to ask for couple questions and then I'd submit it through bugzilla. It's in the realm of busy work, but I'm very detail oriented and pretty good with a CLI. :)
+1 on such a patch, attached to a Bugzilla ticket in "cvs diff -u" format as David pointed out.
Ironically, this would definitely count as enough work to get you added to the contributor list if you are not already :-).
