- Unless there's a specific reason not to (like grouping similar
  jobs together), sort alphabetically.
- Once the current flurry of stuff had died down, I was going to
  propose abolishing the "bug hunters/suggestions" section, since
  we never update it.  (approximately 90% of bug reports and
  "suggestion" authors aren't listed)
- let's list documentation separately from contributors, and
  maybe change "contributors" to "programmers" or something like
  that.


Overall, I would also propose not worrying about this yet.  This
is something that can (and often is) fixed the week before a major
stable release.
