Well, I think we can at least learn one thing from this directly. I
think we should include some relation to historic contributions into the
document. I think what might be nice to do would be for example to also
"seed" the emeritus list (if it is not too difficult).
It is somewhat unrelated to governance, but since we want it to be a
prominent document, it should not overshadow the past.
