The purpose of the Developer's gallery as far as I'm concerned is to document 
who is doing what _right now_ so that people have a name and a face to turn 
to for help. I'm already confused by the variety of titles we're using, so:

1) Founders have been removed. This belongs in some historical overview of PIM 
development.

2) Roles wrt. specific applications are "developer", "core developer", 
"(co-)maintainer". KMail and KOrganizer have co-maintainers; I've changed 
Reinhold to a co-maintainer for that (he and Cornelius were labeled 
inconsistently).

2a) I don't particularly give a rat's ass about the titles unless we can 
explain what they mean. I'd ditch the "core developer" moniker and settle on 
two terms, with the following meaning:
	* developer: knows his or her way around the code, is a useful source of 
information and help
	* maintainer: vets patches for inclusion and may back out stuff if needed

2b) (2a) notwithstanding, any PIM person can commit anywhere in PIM and fix, 
revert, or screw up whatever they want. That's personal responsibility, and 
you know you will be pissed on as needed (or not offered a single beer ever 
again at PIM meetings).

3) Again, if I've left out development roles relevant to KDE PIM that you 
fulfil, please let me know. And / or give me a 50x75 portrait photo of 
yourself.

4) I note none of the libraries have developers or maintainers. It might be 
useful to slap together a _different_ mapping, doing subdirs -> people.
