Nick,

I see this more as "Who should I bump on IRC to ensure bug/patch/web
page X is up to date / acted upon / being watched?", especially for
small fixes or patches that have been tested but not applied yet and
which might be forgotten.

I know I personally find it hard after 5 years of absence to remember
who's responsible for what, and knowing who to chat to is very
helpful. Maybe the people page should be private though?
