The people public data currently only includes id, name, and noLogin
(disabled login) status.

This is adequate for most purposes, however there are use cases for
additional info.

For example, reporter.a.o needs the creation date (to show committer
number changes)

One could add the information to the existing data file, but this
would increase the file size.
This would increase resource usage unnecessarily for most cases.

I'm therefore thinking it would be useful to provide a second version
with more info.
This could be generated by the same cronjob - it would just create an
additional file.

The alternative is for apps to continue to use LDAP directly for such info.

Thoughts?
