Hi,
I plan to commit the attached patch to rename Contributor to
Significant Contributor. Also included is some copy-editing of the
pages.
https://www.postgresql.org/about/policies/contributors/:
* really needs a "Policy" in the page title or everyone is confused
why this page isn't listing people
https://www.postgresql.org/community/contributors/
* I added a "PostgreSQL" to the (in-page) title so "PostgreSQL
Contributor Profiles" sounds better than a mundane "Contributor
Profiles" listing
* I moved the "how to suggest" section to the end so the list isn't
cluttered with too much text at the top
* The sections all have introductory text now (likely needs manual
importing of the json file, like the actual "Significant" (and Past
Significant Contributor) rename.
https://www.postgresql.org/about/governance/contributors/:
* add Floor (already pushed in a separate commit)

Thanks! I reviewed the patch in the downstream attachment. LGTM overall,
a few notes:
* The fixtures edits will be purely for testing purposes; those changes
will need to be added into the "Contributor types" section of the admin
panel.
* I'd note in the commit message that there are a few other cosmetic
changes and list them out.

This is fine.

This is fine; I think it's also OK to add it to the title block, since
it'll appear in search results with that too, but I'm not wed to that
opinion.

I'm not sure what the reasoning was to have it originally up top - maybe
it was to make it easier to find that info, especially because the page
is fairly long. I'd be OK with keeping it up top - it's not too much to
scroll.

The current <title> is already "PostgreSQL: Contributor Profiles", so
duplicating that is a bit weird. (But having header title and in-page
title deviate is also weird...)

IIRC originally there was only some "mail webmaster" bit at the bottom.
I think that page has this information:
1. who are the people on the list
2. how do I add someone
And currently 2 is before 1, which seems weird to me at least.

Ack; when you're ready to push, I can make those changes in the admin
(or if simpler, I can also push / change at the same time).

This is a fun one :) I liked "make" because it's in present tense, and
is true - active contributors continue to make PostgreSQL!

Ah OK, I'm fine with it as you originally suggested. My search results
were hiding the "PostgreSQL" title away.

I'm not strongly opinionated on this one, so I'm fine with moving it to
the bottom. I think your reasoning makes sense.

I just pushed the update. Please do the admin interface edits whenever
you have time.

I left that change out for now. In some sense "made" is more accurate
because everything contributing to the current state happened in the
past (and there are also "Past" contributors on the page), but then
"make" perhaps sounds more active. We can still bikeshed it separately :)

The top of the page looks much nicer now, "PostgreSQL Contributors...
here are the names!" with less technical distraction. (Perhaps the
"people can update their info" bit should also be moved away.)

Thanks for the review!
