The team list [1] has several problems.

- it is linked from the lhs menu as PMC yet the heading is "The
following is a list of developers with commit privileges that have
directly contributed to the project in one way or another."
- it only contains (ex) PMC members currently
- it gets out of date quickly, and partly duplicates the information in LDAP

I think it needs a rethink.

The only info that is not available from LDAP is the list of
non-committer contributors, however that mainly makes sense at the
component level.

I see no point in trying to maintain committer and PMC lists manually.
Maybe there is a way to merge LDAP entries into the pom.
This would have to be redone every time there is a committer or PMC change.

Alternatively maybe there is a way to link to the LDAP lists on
people.a.o, and just use the pom for contributors.

One solution for the main site would be to have 3 links:
Contributors => [1] (in which case the pom would need to be adjusted
for every contributor)
Committers => [2]
PMC => [3]

Thoughts?
