[DISCUSS] Looking at the website

Guys,

I was looking at the website and have discovered that this
    https://bigtop.apache.org/team-list.html

hasn't been kept in sync for quite some time now. I see a lot of outdated
affiliation, for instance. Considering that for Apache a committer affiliation
doesn't mean a squat and rightfully so, shall we get rid of this field all
together? I really don't see what's the point of keeping it.

Thoughts?
  Cos

As mentioned by Cos, it also gets outdated pretty easily.

Thanks,

I might be mistaken, but I believe the origination of this column goes back
to the beginning of it when it was important to the companies behind
it to count the number of committers in the FOSS projects. I don't think this
is a good idea: besides of this being inaccurate, that's another reason to get
rid of it.

Cos,

I wondered about the "organization" column in the past, too. I favor to remove it, too.
