hi,

Why not ? I think Contributors chapter is good in
handbook. But we can do it in more cheaper way. All
contributors can be listed in simple text file (japanese folks
provided this idea some time ago). It will allow us not to maintain
few BIG sgml files, but generate it on build time. And also we 
can make its build conditional (like PGPKEYS). Just MHO.
