I also liked the way a single point of reference could be used to list
all sorts of FreeBSD contributors.

It is not only a matter of being able to remember only one URL, but also
a social aspect of the Project that I heartily endorse and support.  In
a way, listing all the people who are contributors, committers, or part
of any FreeBSD team in a *single* article is a good way of showing that
we are all a part of "one, and the same team"---members of the same
community.

I always feel proud about this aspect of FreeBSD :)
