Here is my post asking if the core section was necessary:

http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2007-11/msg01234.php

It is true my description of core as incomplete, as it didn't list
confidential security and tarball creation.

However, having core at the top might imply that core does most of the
work for this project, which I don't think is true.

One idea would be to list the core members at the top in one sentence,
and have their details below. But maybe core-at-the-top is the best of
our possible options.
