All I was saying is I don't think we need the redundancy :). E.g; if
they are worthy in the docs, they are worthy on the contributors page
and thus not needed in the docs.

I am not of a strong opinion either way but it seems having names
plastered everywhere just creates more management of information for no
particular purpose.
