I'm fine with that. And I agree that we need to recognise
non-developer-contributors. Either by renaming it to contributors, or by
creating separate sections for developers and "other contributors". But
creating separate sections creates the problem of how to deal with
people who are both. So I think renaming it is a good solution.
