Ok, I've updated the current database. (It doesn't show where you're
listed, but it'll automatically get there if that's changed)

A major contributor is differentiated from other contributors based on 1) 
longevity in the community, 2) number of areas they work on, 3) signifigance 
of the contributions that have been made. 

To become an other contributor, you have to have contributed something of 
sginifcance to the community; this has typically meant some new feature for a 
release, but could also mean being a package maintainer for one of the open 
source platforms; it was something specific to the postgresql core project 
though; ie. something likely discussed on the postgresql mailing lists, or 
involving the central project.

Sorry, forgot to say what to put instead. I'll go with "Canada" -- it's more

The first part is easy, but a difference is needed between the other two I
think.

As for those we don't have info for, we could always email them and ask?
For major developers, we also list company name if they're working on
company time...

> Magnus Haeglander, Sweden

Cool new spelling. Maybe I should start using that one :-) Did you just
come up with it, or is that actually in some document somewhere?

IMHO, it may not be a bad idea to list countries , it shows the diversity of

I'm not sure what the countries are supposed to signify but that's neither the
country I hail from nor where I'm currently living.
