I realize that you are basing this on what Geronimo has done, but
personally, I think it's a bad idea to list the organizations on the
project's people page. Most people seem to want to know this on the
proposal, but I think it might send the wrong message to someone who
doesn't know much about Apache and is browsing the project's site.
I agree.
It also seems to be a little tricky to me to decide which committers
to list. Unless a committer says they are no longer active or don't
want to be listed, I would think you should list them all. You could
keep a separate list of PPMC members (which were elected based on
their history as being the active committers).
I strongly agree. Right now, a committer is a committer, regardless
of their actual contribution. The problem with listing only those
that you've personally deemed worthy to be listed is that you'd need
to stay on top of that list and modify it accordingly on at least a
weekly basis, and also I think any changes to it would require
voting, to be fair, which is all way too much overhead. When Qpid
graduates, my understanding is that the committer list will be pared
down according to actual contribution, so let's leave it until then.
