have countries for the folks who aren't attributed, I'd appreciate them).
Of course, there are many contributors to essential non-core code who
should be listed as well:

I'm not sure what the countries are supposed to signify but that's neither the
country I hail from nor where I'm currently living.

Hiroshi Saito has made a number of smaller but important contributions
this cycle.

Heikki is from Finland, but currently living in the UK.

You also missed my name despite it being attributed to 3 items in the
release notes, but I don't suppose that matters as I'm in the core
section anyway.

The mentioned page has a split in "core", "major" and "other" developers.
The first part is easy, but a difference is needed between the other two I
think.

As for those we don't have info for, we could always email them and ask?
For major developers, we also list company name if they're working on
company time...

Cool new spelling. Maybe I should start using that one :-) Did you just
come up with it, or is that actually in some document somewhere?

yeah well - the release notes do not make that good a reference on the
"who submitted patches" question anyway because the do not contain stuff
that are mere compile failures or add support for additional
platforms/cleanups) of new features (ie my patches to add GSSAPI support
to OpenBSD/Solaris or things full text command/tabcomplete support in psql).
So in effect that list might more correctly be called a "feature
contributor list"

Agreed - and that's exactly why Hiroshi got left off I think. His work
included lots of testing and subsequent platform specific build fixes
and code cleanup/fixes.

I should also point out that the contributor list has always included
people who have contributed to non-core community projects in the past
as well - psqlODBC, the JDBC driver, pgInstaller, pgAccess, pgAdmin,
infrastructure/web etc. so Josh's update should not necessarily remove
those people (though an argument could be made for giving those people
their own section).
