I really like that, i.e., for SAGE we could have "The SAGE Group".   I've
updated
   http://www.sagemath.org/pub.html
based on our discussions.

I don't think that is so good, since it seems unfair to me to
other developers not listed, and it makes it harder for the
developer list to grow.  I want no obstructions to the SAGE developer
base growing.  In fact, I really really want it to grow by a factor of
5 within the next year or so.  It needs to, if we are to be able to
match the multi-million dollar resources of Matlab/Mathematica/Maple.
