Acknowledgements in the Manual

[Søren Hauberg]

Hi,
  This mail is an opinion so feel free to call my stupid and/or ignore me.
  In the Preface of the manual there is a section called 
"Acknowledgements". This section contains an autogenerated list of 
people who have contributed to Octave. I don't mind seeing my own name 
in print, but I think the list of people look so autogenerated that it 
should be removed. If it stays in, I think it at least could look a 
little less autogenerated by
  * Remove "John W. Eaton" from the list as the introduction "In 
addition to John W. Eaton...".
  * Remove duplicate people such as "From Michael Goffioul" and 
"Michael Goffioul".
  I think it's great to give thanks to contributors, but perhaps this 
list could appear only on the webpage?
