Committer list [was: Re: NOTICE: Gitolite migration is complete.]

[Simon Peyton-Jones]

Great.   Personally I think "Platform maintainers" would be better under TeamGHC, since it's a kind of ownership of an area.

Everyone: fill in your details on TeamGHC.

|  
|  I thought about the redundancy too, and I'm all for streamlining the
|  wiki. I went ahead and reorganized stuff a bit.
|  
|  The 'Contributor' page is now a stub that leads you to:
|  
|   - The code owners page, which covers the high level roles people take
|  on: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/CodeOwners
|   - The GHC Team page, which covers individuals in particular and
|  joining up: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/TeamGHC
|  
|  I decided to put the platform maintainers with the rest of the
|  committers on the team page and not the owner page, since the format
|  comes off more as "Individual people to contact", as opposed to "the
|  general roles people take on." Although I'm open to disagreement.
|  
|  I also went ahead and filled out most of the remaining details for the
|  existing team. (You are all free to remove your information as you
|  wish of course.)
|  
|  PS: I also realized that Trac won't show emails if you're not logged
|  in, so this may help prevent some measure of spam. A lot of it seems
|  to have gone away recently, post-server move.
