This list worked well when Cayenne was 2 years old, now that it is 9, it no longer makes any sense. The problem is not about the listed folks, but rather that there are many more people who did something comparable for Cayenne (like submitting a single patch, or reporting and investigating a non-obvious bug).

    For goodwill purposes I think it should stay. It does no harm, shows the breadth of contributions and gives those people some acknowledgement. Let's add to that list from time to time when needed, but I think it is useful to have a place to acknowledge people who contribute.
