This is an artifact of the old doc/ www/ split, and yes - it should be
fixed. But I suspect developers.ent is used in HTML files, so you
can't use <email> but that may have changed since I last looked at it.

Please do fix - it's a PITA when updating web pages which needs User
Name <email at freebsd.org>.
