Preceded by a sentence like ‘These are the people who are contributing, or have contributed, to FOP’? In other words, mixing active and inactive contributors/committers? Sounds good to me. > 3.

Which IMO would make it unnecessary to put committers in bold in the list above. > 4. Possibly restore the note about FOP's founder.
