Not just the handbook. Whenever any dev retires, all docs which he is credited
in should be updated with his new email, or no @gentoo.org email.
This has been mentioned on #gentoo-doc a few weeks ago.
Using the roll-call to replace the @gentoo.org email of a retired dev with his
new one or no email is on my todo list.

Atm, using the <dev> implies the dev is listed in the roll-call.
The status can be tested to perform s/Member/Retired/
A fourth column with the email instead of the hardcoded text "All developers
can be reached by e-mail using nickname@gentoo.org." below the table is a
trivial thing to do.
Extending dev with something like
<dev role="Contributor" nick="fnord" email="foo.bar@fnord.tv">Mr. Foo
Bar</dev> would be no problem.

Once you guys have made up your mind, please do file a bug for me as I tend to
not read much of -dev. Thanks.
