Update "developers" list
All,
The Apache Tomcat web site has a few places where people are
specifically listed by name. One is under "Who We Are"[1], and it's
fairly up-to-date. (Reasonable people can disagree as to whether e.g.
"jim" is a committer or a committer-emeritus.)
There is another place people are listed, and it's under each version's
documentation. For example, there is a list of "active developers" for
Tomcat 8.5[2]. That list is quite out of date, and it looks like it's
the same for all of 8.5, 9.0, 10.0, and 10.1.
Is it worth updating these version-specific pages? Or maybe replace them
with redirects to "Who We Are"? We have lots of contributors (myself
included) who are not listed there at all.

Yeah, I'm +1 for dropping them and replacing the page with links to the Who
We Are page.

+1 to dropping them. I'd forgotten that those pages even existed. Happy
with adding a redirect but no particular concerns about just dropping
them entirely. Maybe just replace the links to that page with a link to
[1] ?
