Question about the introduction chapter:

Hi,

While reviewing the FreeBSD Dutch Documentation Project files, i came 
across a entry in the introduction chapter..

"
The committers list

     The committers are the people who have write access to the CVS 
tree, and are authorized to make modifications to the FreeBSD source 
(the term ``committer'' comes from the cvs(1) commit command, which is 
used to bring new changes into the CVS repository). The best way of 
making submissions for review by the committers list is to use the 
send-pr(1) command. If something appears to be jammed in the system, 
then you may also reach them by sending mail to the FreeBSD committer's 
mailing list.
"

All the 'FreeBSD x mailing list' items resolve to a <a href> pointing 
towards the http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/x location.
Only the entry above has 'FreeBSD committer's mailing list' which is 
defined as &a.committers; in the chapter.sgml. Shouldn't that expand to 
a <a href> thingy as well? Or is it being done on purpose that the 
Commiters mailing list is not <a href>'ed?

Could someone explain it to me? And if it need to be changed i am 
willing to send-pr it, so it does not get lost in the huge pile :-)

Cheers!
